Feasibility of Recycling Plutonium and Minor Actinides in Light Water Reactors Using Hydride Fuel (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
The paper evaluates the feasibility of using hydride fuels for recycling plutonium and minor actinides in pressurized water reactors (PWRs). Key objectives include identifying promising hydride fuel assembly designs, conducting comprehensive systems analysis comparing hydride and oxide fuels, performing thermal-hydraulic and safety assessments, and examining the compatibility of hydride fuels with PWR conditions. Results indicate that hydride-based assemblies can significantly enhance transuranic element incineration efficiency, reduce costs, and improve thermal performance compared to conventional MOX fuels.
