HTGR fuel and fuel cycle

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1974
Abstract This paper describes some of the basic charactritics of the HTGR fuel with emphasis on the 1160 MW(e) plant now being offered commercially by Gulf General Atomic and some of the aspects of the fuel cycle which are unique to the HTGR. The fuel cycle is based on highly enriched (93%) uranium for the initial and the make-up fissile material ...

Fueling the Cell Division Cycle

Trends in Cell Biology, 2017
Cell division is a complex process with high energy demands. However, how cells regulate the generation of energy required for DNA synthesis and chromosome segregation is not well understood. Recent data suggest that changes in mitochondrial dynamics and metabolic pathways such as oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and glycolysis crosstalk with, and ...

Thorium fuel cycles compared to uranium fuel cycles

Le Journal de Physique IV, 1999
This paper compares the material quantities and radioactive properties of thorium fuel cycles for various types of nuclear power plants with similar results for uranium fueling. Thorium resources exceed those of uranium. Reactors can convert thorium to fissile uranium-233, making breeding possible with thermal neutrons.

Advanced Fusion Fuel Cycles

Fusion Technology, 1990
The discovery of the favorable energy balance for {sup 3}He mining on the Moon has led to a profound change in fusion reactor design studies. The replacement of tritium by {sup 3}He in the plasma has been investigated. This paper discusses how the reduced neutron flux in a D-{sup 3}He reactor has substantial engineering, safety, and environmental ...

Nuclear Fuel Cycle

2015
Nuclear power has unresolved challenges in the long-term management of radioactive wastes. A critical factor for the future of an expanded nuclear power industry is the choice of the fuel cycle – what type of fuel is used, what types of reactors “burn” the fuel, and the method of disposal of spent fuel.
