Various methods have been proposed to transmute and thus consume the current inventory of transuranic waste from spent light water reactor (LWR) fuel and plutonium from weapons. We discuss the neutronics performance of nonfertile, fertile metallic, a

We outline the strategy and constraints adopted for the design of medium-power lead-alloy–cooled actinide-burning reactors that strive for a lower cost than accelerator-driven systems and for robus...

The thermal, mechanical, and chemical behavior of both thorium and uranium dioxide (ThO{sub 2}-UO{sub 2}) and thorium and plutonium dioxide (ThO{sub 2}-PuO{sub 2})-based fuels during in-service and hypothetical accident conditions in light water reac

A light water reactor (LWR) fuel cycle is proposed where the reactor core mainly consists of standard uranium-dioxide (UO{sub 2}) fuel rods with typical {sup 235}U enrichment, along with thoria-urania (ThO{sub 2}-UO{sub 2}) or yttria-stablized zircon

Our objective is to develop a fuel for the existing light water reactors (LWRs) that, (a) is less expensive to fabricate than the current uranium-dioxide (UO2) fuel; (b) allows longer refueling cycles and higher sustainable plant capacity factors; (c

The supercritical water reactor (SCWR) has been the object of interest throughout the nuclear Generation IV community because of its high potential: a simple, direct cycle, compact configuration; elimination of many traditional LWR components, operat

The supercritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR) is one of the six reactor technologies selected for research and development under the Generation IV program. SCWRs are promising advanced nuclear systems because of their high thermal efficiency (i.e., a
