The irradiation of a thorium target by light charged particles (protons and deuterons) leads to the production of several isotopes of medical interest. Direct nuclear reaction allows the production of Protactinium-230 which decays to Uranium-230 the mother nucleus of Thorium-226, a promising isotope for alpha radionuclide therapy. The fission of Thorium-232 produces fragments of interest like M...

Light nuclides produced in collisions of 1 A⋅GeV U with protons and titanium have been fully identified with a high-resolution forward magnetic spectrometer, the fragment separator (FRS), at GSI, and for each nuclide an extremely precise determination of the velocity has been performed. The so-obtained information on the velocity shows that the very asymmetric fission of uranium, in the U + p r...

The glut of fissile material from reprocessing plants and from the conclusion of the cold war has provided the opportunity to design new fuel types to beneficially dispose of such stocks by generating useful power. Thus, in addition to the normal reactor core complement of enriched uranium fuel assemblies, two other types are available on the world market. These are the ERU (enriched recycled u...

High level Liquid Waste (HLW) is generated during the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel which is used to recover uranium and plutonium. More than 99% of the radioactivity generated during the burning of nuclear fuel in the reactor is present in HLW. For the efficient management of HLW either by vitrification in the suitable borosilicate glass matrix, or partitioning and transmutation (P&T) of ...

An algorithm was developed that uses measured isotopic ratios from fission product residue following the detonation of a high-enriched uranium nuclear weapon to compute the original attributes of the nuclear material used in the device. The specific attributes assessed are the uranium isotopics (considering U, U, U, and U) and the type of enrichment process used to create the material (e.g., ga...

We present INCL intra-nuclear cascade and ABLA de-excitation (evaporation/fission) models that can be used to calculate collisions between projectile particles and nuclei at energies from 0.2 to 3 GeV. Supported projectiles are proton, neutron, pions and light ions up to alpha. The optimal target materials range from carbon to uranium. We have extended the INCL model light ion projectile suppor...

Most HWRs currently use natural uranium fuel. Using enriched uranium fuel results in a significant improvement in fuel cycle costs and uranium utilization. On the other hand, reactivity changes of HWRs over the full range of operating conditions from cold shutdown to full power are small. This reduces the required reactivity worth of control devices and minimizes local flux distribution perturb...

Uranium contains only one naturally occurring isotope, 235U, which will sustain a nuclear chain reaction using normal water to moderate and reflect neutrons. At present, this isotope is present in low abundance (0.72%), requiring enrichment to 3% or greater for effective use in commercial nuclear reactors. Two billion years ago, however, the natural abundance of 235U was approximately 3%. Evide...
