Given the potential of thorium fuel cycle and predominance PWRs in today's commercial fleet nuclear power plants, further investigations on introduction thorium-based open-cycle reactors such as are warranted. The benefits microheterogeneous thoria-urania (e.g. increased burnup / length, reduced radiotoxicity stability spent fuel, proliferation advantages due, feasibility converting UO2-based manufacturing plants to ThO2-UO2), diminished by costs, need denature sections thermo-hydraulic...
A number of primary ores such as phosphate rock, gold-, copper- and rare earth contain considerable amounts accompanying uranium other critical materials. Energy neutral mineral processing is the extraction unconventional during ore to use it, after enrichment fuel production, generate greenhouse gas lean energy in a nuclear reactor. neutrality reached if produced from extracted equal or larger than required for processing, extraction, -conversion, -enrichment -fuel production. This work...
The AVR (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Versuchsreaktor) is a pebble bed type helium cooled graphite moderated high temperature reactor that operated in Germany for 21 years and was closed down December 1988 [1]. melt-wire experiments [2], where spheres with melt-wires of different melting temperatures were introduced into the core, indicate measured significantly exceeded calculated models used at time [3]. These discrepancies are often attributed to special design features AVR, particular control rod...
