The suggested strategy of nuclear closed fuel-cycle and PHWR's role
Description
The closed nuclear fuel-cycle strategy has been adopted in China. Based on the current status of nuclear fuel-cycle, PHWR's technical advantages and potential role in the closed fuel-cycle are analyzed. Since PHWR could use recycled uranium economically and efficiently, and could be the breakthrough of nuclear utilization of thorium, it is suggested that develop PWRs, reprocessing plants and FRs with matched number of PHWRs to realize the closed nuclear fuel-cycle, which would ensure the long-term and continual development of nuclear energy.
