SIMULATION OF BREED AND BURN FUEL CYCLE OPERATION OF MOLTEN SALT REACTOR IN BATCH-WISE REFUELING MODE [PDF]
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

Vegetation structure and fire weather influence variation in burn severity and fuel consumption during peatland wildfires [PDF]
Temperate peatland wildfires are of significant environmental concern but information on their environmental effects is lacking. We assessed variation in burn severity and fuel consumption within and between wildfires that burnt British moorlands in 2011
