Impact of minor actinide recycling on sustainable fuel cycle options

Journal Article Heidet, F. ; Kim, T. K. ; Taiwo, T. A. - Nuclear Engineering and Design

The recent Evaluation and Screening study chartered by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Energy, has identified four fuel cycle options as being the most promising. Among these four options, the two single-stage fuel cycles rely on a fast reactor and are differing in the fact that in one case only uranium and plutonium are recycled while in the other case minor actinides are also recycled. The two other fuel cycles are two-stage and rely on both fast and thermal reactors. They also differ in the fact that in one case only uranium and plutonium are recycled whilemore »« less

Evaluation of Homogeneous Options: Effects of Minor Actinide Exclusion from Single and Double Tier Recycle in Sodium Fast Reactors

Technical Report Ferrer, R M ; Bays, S ; Pope, M

The Systems Analysis Campaign under the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP) has requested the fuel cycle analysis group at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to analyze and provide isotopic data for four scenarios in which different strategies for Minor Actinides (MA) management are investigated. A 1000 MWth commercial-scale Sodium Fast Reactor (SFR) design was selected as the baseline in this scenario study. Two transuranic (TRU) conversion ratios, defined as the ratio of the amount of TRU produced over the TRU destroyed in the reactor core, along with different fuel-types were investigated.

Improving the actinides recycling in closed fuel cycles, a major step towards nuclear energy sustainability

Conference Poinssot, C. ; Grandjean, S. ; Masson, M. ; ...

Increasing the sustainability of nuclear energy is a longstanding road that requires a stepwise approach to successively tackle the following 3 objectives. First of all, optimize the consumption of natural resource to preserve them for future generations and hence guarantee the energetic independence of the countries (no uranium ore is needed anymore). The current twice-through cycle of Pu implemented by France, UK, Japan and soon China is a first step in this direction and already allows the development and optimization of the relevant industrial processes. It also allows a major improvement regarding the conditioning of the ultimate waste in amore »« less
Fuel Cycle Considerations for Uranium, Plutonium and Minor Actinide Partitioning and Transmutation

Journal Article Taiwo, Temitope ; Wigeland, Roald A. - Annals of Nuclear Energy (Oxford)

This paper is written in memorial of the authors' past collaborations with Max Salvatores in the area of advanced nuclear fuel cycle evaluation. In this regard, a summary is provided of the results from two international studies led by Max Salvatores in which the authors participated: (1) the expert group on Homogeneous versus Heterogeneous Recycling of Transuranics in Fast Nuclear Reactors, and (2) the expert group on Potential Benefits and Impacts of Advanced Nuclear Fuel Cycles with Actinide Partitioning and Transmutation. Both of these studies presented the authors with the opportunity to contribute the results of past and ongoing researchmore »« less
