FUEL TAP: A SIMPLIFIED BREED AND BURN MSR [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2021 Breed-and-burn Molten Salt Reactors are an interesting option of reactor design that allow high fuel utilization while operating on an open fuel cycle. Such reactors usually require specialized codes in order to model its fuel cycle and the flowing fuel ...

CORE DESIGN OF BREED & BURN MOLTEN SALT FAST REACTOR [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2021 Previous designs of once-through solid-fuelled breed-and-burn (B&B) reactor and the conventional molten salt reactor (MSR) concepts suffer from material limitation of neutron irradiation damage and chemical corrosion.

Breed-and-burn fuel cycle in molten salt reactors [PDF]
EPJ Nuclear Sciences & Technologies, 2019 The operation of a reactor on an open but self-sustainable cycle without actinide separation is known as breed-and-burn. It has mostly been envisioned for use in solid-fueled fast-spectrum reactors such as sodium-cooled fast reactors.

3D in-core fuel management optimization for breed-and-burn reactors [PDF]
Progress in Nuclear Energy, 2016 Abstract Breed-and-burn (B&B) reactors are a special class of fast reactors that are designed to utilize low grade fuel such as depleted uranium without fuel reprocessing. One of the most challenging practical design feasibility issues faced by B&B reactors is the high level of radiation damage their fuel cladding has to withstand in order to sustain

Impact of Neutron Spectrum Shift on Breed and Burn Reactor Concept
Energy Procedia, 2017 Abstract Neutronic analysis has been performed for an infinite fuel cell and a one-dimensional (1D) slab Breed and Burn (B&B) reactor with metallic fuel (U-10%wt Zr), cladding of HT-9, and coolant of lead bismuth eutectic (Pb-55.5%wt Bi). The purpose is to investigate the effect of the neutron spectrum on fuel burning in the B&B reactor and ...

SIMULATION OF BREED AND BURN FUEL CYCLE OPERATION OF MOLTEN SALT REACTOR IN BATCH-WISE REFUELING MODE [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2021 The Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) is one of the most revolutionary Gen-IV reactors and it can be operated, especially with chloride salts, in the so-called breed and burn fuel cycle. In this type of fuel cycle the fissile isotopes from spent fuel do not need
