Production of Pa-U fuel with proliferation resistance by 14 MeV neutron for long-life core

Creators

Description

Paper presents the results of efforts to study possibility to ensure thorium fuel cycle based on Pa-U fuel produced during ThO2-blanket irradiation by fusion neutrons. The mentioned fuel cycle is characterized by high proliferation resistance due to production of 232U isotope. One analyzed the mentioned cycle applicability in a gas reactor and high burnup of fuel in reactor core with high resource

Abstract (Russian)

Приведены результаты изучения возможности создания ториевого топливного цикла на базе Pa-U-топлива, получаемого в процессе облучения термоядерными нейтронами ThO2-бланкета. Этот топливный цикл обладает высоким сопротивлением пролиферации вследствие образования изотопа 232U. Проанализирована перспективность цикла для использования в газовом реакторе и достижения высоких выгораний топлива в активной зоне с большим ресурсом
