Proposal for 2020 program

摘要

This document is a proposal to do an analysis of the use of light water reactors (LWRs) in Weapons Material Production. The objective of this study is to examine the major issues associated with using a LWR to produce weapons materials. The central focus of the study will be on the design and safety issues relating to tritium production in LWRs using uranium fuel with both low and high enrichment. This study will identify the problems and propose solutions. This study will analyze the technology of tritium production in an LWR. The first step will identify and quantify the major problems and the worst credible accident condition. The next step will consist of identifying and evaluating engineering changes to the LWR design.
