Fixed neutron absorbers for improved nuclear safety and better economics in nuclear fuel storage, transport and disposal
Current designs of both large reactor units and small modular reactors utilize a nuclear fuel with increasing enrichment. This increasing demand for better nuclear fuel utilization is a challenge for nuclear fuel handling facilities. The operation with higher enriched fuels leads to reduced reserves...
