For global survival, we need to launch a rapid regeneration of the nuclear power industry.
The replacement of the present fossil fuel industry requires a doubling time for alternative …

Separation of f-block elements is a daunting task due to their similar chemical behaviour.
Among these, the separation of uranium from a thorium matrix is one of the persisting …

The concept of the molten salt reactor (MSR) refuses to go away. The Generation-IV process
lists the MSR as one of the six concepts to be considered for extending fuel resources. Good …

A three-dimensional MCNP model of a Westinghouse-type 17× 17 PWR was used to assess
the feasibility of enhancing the current fuel supply with a thorium-plutonium mixed oxide fuel …

Utilization of natural uranium (nat-U) and thorium as fertile fuels has been investigated by in
a Gas Turbine–Modular Helium Reactor (GTMHR) using reactor grade plutonium as driver …

Time evolution of criticality and burnup grades of the PBMR were investigated for reactor
grade plutonium and minor actinides in the spent fuel of light water reactors (LWRs) mixed …

Prospective fuels for a new reactor type, the so called fixed bed nuclear reactor (FBNR) are
investigated with respect to reactor criticality. These are ① low enriched uranium (LEU); ② …

Pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs) were originally designed for employing once
through fuel cycles with natural uranium. The excellent neutron economy and on-line fueling …

A review is made of the ongoing lines of R&D in the field on Nuclear Fission and potential
alternatives based on specific features of some types of reactors. This nuclear perspective is …

This work investigates the possibility of getting rid of the accumulated plutonium around the
world by mixing it with fertile materials and using it as a nuclear fuel for CANDU-6. Using …
