Optimization of the LWR Nuclear Fuel Cycle for Minimum Waste Production

Optimization of the LWR Nuclear Fuel Cycle for Minimum Waste Production

The once through nuclear fuel cycle adopted by the majority of countries with operating commercial power reactors imposes a number of concerns. The radioactive waste created in the once through nuclear fuel cycle has to be isolated from the environment for thousands of years. In addition, plutoni...
