System considerations for actinide recycle in fast reactors

  • 1. Burns and Roe, Inc., Oradell, NJ (United States)
  • 2. General Electric Co., San Jose, CA (United States)

Description

The benefits which can be achieved by completing the development of the Advanced Liquid Metal Reactor (ALMR) and the electrometallurgical recycle system (Actinide Recycle System) can far exceed the cost of the remaining development program. Use of the ALMR/Actinide Recycle System to close the back end of the fuel cycle provides for lower costs to the Government (taxpayers), the electric power industries, and the rate payers. These cost benefits and other advantages to the US nuclear program are discussed. (authors)
