Abstract The supercritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR) is one of the six concepts selected by Generation-IV International Forum (GIF) for future research. This technology a natural evolutionary step current reactors. Canada participant GIF, and under this international endeavor developed Canadian SCWR, which 1200 MWe concept. However, due to high capital cost associated with building large units, nuclear industry rekindled an old concept: Small Reactors (SRs), now small modular reactors...
This study assesses the resource throughput and utilization of various thorium-based fuel concepts for near-term deployment in a pressure-tube heavy water reactor (PT-HWR). Such may be interest to nations with thorium reserves that are interested exploiting PT-HWRs. Given abundant relatively small uranium have an reducing their dependence on natural (NU) imports, assessed terms ability conserve resources impact national income using economic multiplier analysis. It is found there some...
The fueling unit energy cost of various thorium-based fuels and uranium-based augmented by small amounts thorium in a pressure tube heavy water reactor (PT-HWR) are assessed building upon previous studies. results suggests that fuel concepts using slightly enriched uranium mixed with low-enriched can be competitive have the greatest potential for near-term implementation PT-HWRs. Thorium-based contain recycled plutonium or 233U will require more effort to identify develop technologies reduce...
To meet future global needs for energy and green technology, it is prudent to identify sources technology that may potentially be economically beneficial. Thorium-based fuels with nuclear such as the Canadian heavy-water reactor, have been proposed a way those needs, though economic challenges persist in deploying thorium-based fuels. Therefore, strategies overcome are needed. potential advancing deployment of fuels, this paper conducts historical examination economics thorium fuel cycles...
One of the challenges small modular reactors (SMRs) in comparison with large is greater difficulty achieving high burnups smaller cores. With neutron leakage through periphery, a key factor economy fuel cladding. However, all supercritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR) concepts have employed neutron-absorbing stainless steels and nickel-based alloys order to meet requirements terms corrosion thermalhydraulics. In achieve higher extend time between refueling SCW-SMR, use chromium-coated...

Abstract Governments, and uranium producers buyers assess policy implications for markets by understanding the price of role government over time. To understand key elements in formation markets, this study uses institutional economics method to investigate arrangements used procuring Manhattan Project (1942–1946). Throughout period, expectations was bounded opportunities receive revenue from selling ore as a by-product main product. In regards formation, were guided need secure customers,...
