Purex co-processing of spent LWR fuels: comparative fuel cycle cost analyses

  • 1. Nuclear Engineering Department, Hacettepe University, Ankara (Turkey)

Description

Nuclear fuel cycle costs for purex reprocessing and co-processing cycles are to be evaluated, by calculating unit costs of recovered, accordingly treated and fabricated products and then comparing those to the unit cost of fresh uranium fuel ready to be loaded into a typical LWR on the once-through cycle
