Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advanced nuclear system will significantly advance the science and technology of nuclear energy systems and to enhance the spent fuel proliferation resistance. Minor actinides (MA) are viewed more as a resource to be recycled, and transmuted to less hazardous and possibly more useful forms, rather than simply disposed of as a waste stream in an expensive repository facility. MAs can play a much larger part in the design of advanced systems and fuel cycles, not only as additional sources of useful energy, but also as direct contributors to the reactivity control of the systems into which they are incorporated. In this work, an Advanced CANDU Reactor (ACR) fuel unit lattice cell model with 43 UO2 fuel rods will be used to investigate the effectiveness of a Minor Actinide Reduction Approach (MARA) for enhancing proliferation resistance and improving the fuel cycle performance. The main MARA objective is to increase the 238Pu / Pu isotope ratio by using the transuranic nuclides (237Np and 241Am) in the high burnup fuel and thereby increase the proliferation resistance even for a very low fuel burnup. As a result, MARA is a very effective approach to enhance the proliferation resistance for the on power refueling ACR system nuclear fuel. The MA transmutation characteristics at different MA loadings were compared and their impact on neutronics criticality assessed. The concept of MARA, significantly increases the 238Pu/Pu ratio for proliferation resistance, as well as serves as a burnable absorber to hold-down the initial excess reactivity. It is believed that MARA can play an important role in atoms for peace and the intermediate term of nuclear energy reconnaissance.

Book excerpt: This paper reviews some of the key programs on fuel technology within the CANDU power reactor owners' group. It begins with outlining the characteristics and design evolution of CANDU power reactor fuel, its performance, and defect mechanisms. The paper reviews the programs in two groups: the Fuel Technology Program and the Advanced Fuel Cycle programs. Key elements in these programs include studies of the effect of oxygen/metal ratio on fuel performance, corrosion protection, extended burnup irradiation, operational limits, fuel damage, fuel behavior modelling, decay heat removal, and the use of recovered uranium, spent pressurized-water reactor fuel, and low void reactivity fuel.
