A Particle-bed Gas-cooled Fast Reactor Core Design for Waste Minimisation
The issue of waste minimisation in advanced reactor systems has been investigated using the Particle-Bed Gas-cooled Fast Reactor (PB-GCFR) design being developed and funded under the U.S. Department of Energy Nuclear Energy Research Initiative (USDOE NERI) Programme. Results indicate that for the given core power density and constraint on the maximum TRU enrichment allowable, the lowest amount ...
متن کاملTransmutation of Dupic Spent Fuel in the Hyper System
In this paper, the transmutation of TRUs of the DUPIC (Direct Use of Spent PWR Fuel in CANDU) spent fuel has been studied with the HYPER system, which is an LBE-cooled ADS. The DUPIC concept is a synergistic combination of PWRs and CANDUs, in which PWR spent fuels are directly reutilized in CANDU reactors after a very simple re-fabrication process. In the DUPICHYPER fuel cycle, TRUs are recover...
متن کاملPyroprocessing Technology Development at Kaeri
Pyroprocessing was originally developed for the recycling of the metal fuel from a fast reactor. It was noted that pyroprocessing can be modified by an oxide reduction process enabling treatment of spent nuclear fuels from a commercial light water reactor (LWR) which is in an oxide form. Pyroprocessing treatment can reduce the volume, radioactivity, and heat load of the LWR spent fuels [1]. In ...
متن کاملPartitioning and Transmutation of Spent Nuclear Fuel by Peacer
Challenges of managing long-living spent nuclear fuel wastes are to be technically overcome by a partitioning and transmutation system named as PEACER that is an abbreviation of its design goals: Proliferation-resistant, Environment-friendly, Accident-tolerant, Continuable and Economical Reactor. PEACER has been developed to manage spent nuclear fuels by uniquely combining Pb-Bi cooled critical...
متن کاملNeutronic Design of the Pb-ahtr
This study (1) investigates the neutronic characteristics of the Pebble Bed Advanced High Temperature Reactor (PB-AHTR); (2) compares the PB-AHTR neutronic performance against those of the alternative design options of He-cooled high temperature reactors using either pebble (PBMR) or prismatic (VHTR) fuel and against a liquid-salt cooled design version of the latter (LS-VHTR); (3) studies the p...
