Download or read book ORNL Experience and Perspectives Related to Processing of Thorium and 233U for Nuclear Fuel written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thorium-based nuclear fuel cycles have received renewed attention in both research and public circles since about the year 2000. Much of the attention has been focused on nuclear fission energy production that utilizes thorium as a fertile element for producing fissionable 233U for recycle in thermal reactors, fast reactors, or externally driven systems. Here, lesser attention has been paid to other fuel cycle operations that are necessary for implementation of a sustainable thorium-based fuel cycle such as reprocessing and fabrication of recycle fuels containing 233U.

Book excerpt: A fabrication facility with related process equipment has been constructed to fabricate fuel rods containing 233U and thorium oxide by the bulk oxide-vibratory compaction route and is now in operation at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. While the initial motivation for the facility was to fabricate 233U-bearing 1/2-in.-dia x 46-in.-long Zircaloy-2 clad fuel rods for criticality experiments at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, sufficient flexibility has been incorporated into the facility to accommodate a variety of development work on a pilot-plant scale. The facility consists of a number of permanent alpha-tight cubicles which are shielded with 41/4-in. steel. The fabrication process is carried out remotely in these cubicles with the exception of several gloved-hand operations which occur where the dexterity required for manipulation exceeds that of the remote castle-type tongs. The fabrication equipment that has been installed in the facility performs the operations associated with oxide powder comminution and classification, vibratory compaction of oxide in fuel tubes, tube closure, fuel rod decontamination, and fuel rod inspection. Both the facility and the process equipment are described in detail, and detailed assembly drawings of the process equipment are included. (auth).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Thorium Fuel Cycle The fertile material in the thorium fuel cycle is an isotope of thorium called 232Th, and the thorium fuel cycle itself is a kind of nuclear fuel cycle. Within the reactor, 232Th is converted into the fissile artificial uranium isotope 233U, which is then used as the fuel for the nuclear reactor. Natural thorium, in contrast to natural uranium, only contains minute quantities of fissile material, which is insufficient to kick off a nuclear chain reaction. In order to kickstart the fuel cycle, either more fissile material or an other neutron source is required. 233U is created when 232Th, which is powered by thorium, absorbs neutrons in a reactor. This is analogous to the process that occurs in uranium breeder reactors, in which fertile 238U is subjected to neutron absorption in order to produce fissile 239Pu. The produced 233U either fissions in situ or is chemically removed from the old nuclear fuel and converted into new nuclear fuel, depending on the architecture of the reactor and the fuel cycle. Fissioning in situ is the more efficient method.

Download or read book Thoria based Nuclear Fuels written by Dasarathi Das and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-24 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the state of the art on thermophysical and thermochemical properties, fabrication methodologies, irradiation behaviours, fuel reprocessing procedures, and aspects of waste management for oxide fuels in general and for thoria-based fuels in particular. The book covers all the essential features involved in the development of and working with nuclear technology. With the help of key databases, many of which were created by the authors, information is presented in the form of tables, figures, schematic diagrams and flow sheets, and photographs. This information will be useful for scientists and engineers working in the nuclear field, particularly for design and simulation, and for establishing the technology. One special feature is the inclusion of the latest information on thoria-based fuels, especially on the use of thorium in power generation, as it has less proliferation potential for nuclear weapons. Given its natural abundance, thorium offers a future alternative to uranium fuels in nuclear technology. In closing, the latest information on conventional uranium and plutonium fuels is also provided.
