The Back End of the Fusion Materials Cycle

Fusion Science and Technology, 2009
Within the framework of the International Energy Agency, an international collaborative study on fusion radioactive waste has been initiated to examine the back end of the materials cycle as an imp...

Back-end of nuclear fuel cycle in China

Progress in Nuclear Energy, 2012
Abstract Nuclear status and expansion in China are overviewed in the present paper. The nuclear electricity capacity was adjusted form 40 GWe–70 GWe by 2020. The target of nuclear electricity capacity will reach 200 GWe by 2030 and 400 GWe by 2050. Based on the nuclear energy expansion, the evolution of spent fuel was anticipated. The accumulation of

The Back-End of Fusion Materials Cycle: Recycling, Clearance and Disposal

Fusion Science and Technology, 2009
In order to maximize the environmental benefits of fusion power generation, it is important to clearly define the parameters governing the back-end of the materials cycle.

An integrated approach to the back-end of the fusion materials cycle

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2008
Abstract In order to maximise the environmental benefits of fusion power generation, it is important to clearly define the parameters governing the back-end of the materials cycle. A fusion-specific, unique approach is necessary and needs to be developed. Recycling of materials and clearance (i.e. declassification to non-radioactive material) are the

Utility Optimization Model of Fuel Cycle Back-End Services

Nuclear Technology, 1978
Optimization of the back-end services of the fuel cycle is solved by linear programming. A mathematical model governs the flow of fissile material from the reactor to spent fuel storages, to reproc...

A Study on the Once-Through Back-End Fuel Cycle Scenario

ASME 2009 12th International Conference on Environmental Remediation and Radioactive Waste Management, Volume 1, 2009
There are three options for spent fuel management, recycle, once-through and wait and see. The national policy for spent fuel in Korea is “wait and see” and it has to be clearly decided for spent fuel management. The final disposal is the last stage of the fuel cycle and it is essential even though the recycling option will be chosen for spent fuel ...

Critical issues with 'minor league' nuclear infrastructures: the back end of the life cycle

International Journal of Critical Infrastructures, 2008
The paper attempts to draw attention to a number of issues that may go underplayed on the agenda of the critical infrastructure analysts concerned with risks: the vulnerabilities induced by nuclear research facilities facing decommissioning. The notion that the 'small nuclear' facility may show, in such circumstances, sizeable risks, even in comparison

The Back End of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle: Technical and Economic Analysis—Part II: Comparison of Cycles

Nuclear Technology, 1990
The back end of the nuclear fuel cycle has been analyzed under current conditions in the United States, including the constraints imposed by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 and its amendments. The scenarios for two closed cycles, a regular reprocessing cycle and a reprocessing scheme with cesium and strontium fractionation, are described.
