A REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF AVAILABLE CRITICAL EXPERIMENT DATA FOR HTGR NON-PROLIFERATION FUEL CYCLES

摘要

As part of the overall effort to resolve the issues of nuclear materials diversion and weapons proliferation, General Atomic (GA) has undertaken a study on the effective utilization on low enrichment uranium (LEU) fuel cycles in the High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR). In the area of the core design, this work involved a thorough evaluation of the feasibility of various possible LEU fuel cycles including a definition of potential problems.
