A System Dynamics Study of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle with Recycling: Options and Outcomes for the US and Brazil

A system dynamics simulation technique is applied to generate a new version of the CAFCA code to study mass flows in the nuclear fuel cycle, and the impact of different options for advanced reactors and fuel recycling facilities on the inventory and distribution of transuranics (TRU). Several nuc...
