THE CNEN PROGRAMS FOR REACTORS WITH ORGANIC LIQUID AND FOR THE URANIUM- THORIUM CYCLE (in Italian)

Journal Article · · Energia nucleare (Milan)
OSTI ID:4009740
Two major research and development programs --PRO and PCUT--to be carried out by CNEN (Comitato Nazionale per l'Energia Nucleare) are described. The organic reactor program (PRO) involves the realization of a 30 Mwt organic moderated and cooled reactor, in close cooperation with the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, and a research and development work. The uranium-thorium cycle program (PCUT) foresees the realization of a uraniumthorium reprocessing pilot plant, in which fuel elements from the Elk River reactor will be treated: its aim is to study the uranium-thorium cycle having in view a power reactor -- reprocessing plant integrated complex.
