AbstractAbstract
[en] The economics of various fuel cycles for the CANDU reactor are considered. It is argued, political considerations apart, that recycling plutonium was never likely to be particularly profitable, and rising costs have made it less so. On the other hand, a strong case is made for irradiating pure thorium fuel in a CANDU reactor containing driver fuel with 1.81% enrichment, and then recycling 233U without any admixture of 238U or Pu. The economics are particularly favourable if an organic-cooled reactor is used. (N.D.H.)
