A Systematic Study of Moderation Effects On Neutronic Performance of UO[subscript 2] Fueled Lattices

This report addresses the physics of reactor cores that can be operated for 10 to 15 years without refueling — inspired by the objective of enhanced nuclear fuel cycle performance with regard to economics and resistance to weapon proliferation. Proliferation resistance is a primary consideration...
