Description
For the burning of nuclear warheads plutonium, a new concept of once-through type fuel was studied. From the chemical properties of the materials, the PuO2-ThO2-Al2O3 and PuO2-stabilized zirconia-Al2O3 systems are acceptable for the fuel. The spent fuels will become a stable waste form without reprocessing. For the once-through burning of Pu, conventional PWRs are suitable, that can transmute nearly 99% of Pu-239 and 85% of total plutonium loaded. (author)
