Neutronic transmutation of transuranium isotopes in a fast neutron power reactor

  • 1. Comitato Nazionale per l'Energia Nucleare, Casaccia (Italy). Centro di Studi Nucleari

Description

Starting from the theoretical basis of the transmutation, calculations of homogeneous recycling and heterogeneous configurations for a 1200 MWe LMFBR are executed. The most important aspects examined are: - determination of the amounts of TransUranium isotopes (TRU) generated in the reactor; - determination of the amounts of TRU which can be eliminated at every transmutation step, i.e. at every cycle; - determination of the factors which have most influence on the efficiency of the transmutation process; - evaluation of the consequences of the TRU recycling for the reactor design parameters
