Solid TRU fuels and fuel cycle technology

  • 1. Japan Atomic Energy Research Inst., Tokai, Ibaraki (Japan)

Description

Alloys and nitrides are candidate solid fuels for transmutation. However, the nitride fuels are preferred to the alloys because they have more favorable thermal properties which allows to apply a cold-fuel concept. The nitride fuel cycle technology is briefly presented
