Book excerpt: Nuclear fuel is occasionally warranted to produce a stipulated average Mwd/ton for discharged fuel. Mwd/ton is defined as the megawatt days of heat produced per 2000 pounds of total fissionable and fertile isotopes initially present. In the history of nuclear power reactors, Mwd/ton has been a difficult number to measure accurately. Measurements performed in different laboratories are not always in agreement. A fuel burnup group is preparing tentative procedures which will help standardize the field of burnup analysis. The purpose of this report is to evaluate some of the existing methods for burnup analysis and to select, if possible, the one best suited for warranty purposes.

Book excerpt: The mass-spectrometric and radiochemical methods for the determination of burn-up in nuclear fuel are compared for reliability in the range of 5000 to 15,000 Mwd/ton. Neither appears to be clearly superior to the other. Each appears to have an uncertainty of approximately 6 to 8%. It is concluded that both methods of analysis should be employed where reliability is of great concern. Agreement between both methods is the best possible indication of reliable results. (auth).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A uranium burnup analysis is one which determines the extent to which fissile material has been consumed during a period of residence in a flux of neutrons. Other fissile materials may be encountered but this paper will deal exclusively with uranium-235.

This book was released on 1995-08-06 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the next decade, many thousands of U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons are slated to be retired as a result of nuclear arms reduction treaties and unilateral pledges. Hundreds of tons of plutonium and highly enriched uranium will no longer be needed for weapons purposes and will pose urgent challenges to international security. This is the supporting volume to a study by the Committee on International Security and Arms Control which dealt with all phases of the management and disposition of these materials. This technical study concentrates on the option for the disposition of plutonium, looking in detail at the different types of reactors in which weapons plutonium could be burned and at the vitrification of plutonium, and comparing them using economic, security and environmental criteria.
