Plutonium Recycling in Light-Water Reactors: Fuel Burn-Up Calculations for the Design of Reprocessing Plants and the Effects on Uranium Requirements

摘要

This report gives a detailed review on the composition of radionuclides in spent LWR fuel in the case of Pu-recycling. These calculations are necessary for the design of spent fuel reprocessing plants. Furthermore the influence of Pu-recycling on the demand of uranium for a single LWR as well as for a certain growing LWR-population is shown. 11 figures, 4 tables. (ERA citation 03:000276)
