SOLAR ENERGY AS AN ALTERNATE ENERGY SOURCE TO MIXED OXIDE FUELS IN LIGHT-WATER COOLED REACTORS

摘要

Supplemental information pertaining to the generic environmental impact statement on the Pu recycling process for mixed oxide light-water cooled reactors (GESMO) was requested from several sources. In particular, the role of alternate sources of energy were to be explored and the implications of these alternate sources to the question of Pu recycle in LWR's were to be investigated. In this vein, solar energy as an alternate source is the main subject of this report, along with other information related to solar energy. The general conclusion is that solar energy should have little effect on the decisions concerning GESMO.
