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.

Fissile material represents one of the fuels which are presently used for electricity production, but with respect to fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas), nuclear fuel presents two major differences: it must undergo several transformations, starting from the raw material, so that it can be introduced in nuclear reactor cores in the form of fissile ...

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1989
Abstract In the first half of the 21st century, a redistribution of the energy data should occur, where nuclear will play a more important role, particularly as coal will become more and more costly to extract. On a worldwide basis, the unability of oil to be replaced in some areas like transportation, and the difficulty of developing countries to ...

Abstract The nuclear fuel cycle is described, including the distinction between the open cycle and the closed cycle. Mining to create yellow cake, and enrichment by gas centrifuge using uranium hexafluoride (HEX), are explained. Fuel fabrication of uranium oxide pellets completes the front-end of the fuel cycle.

Vast amounts of ore are mined to produce usable stocks of uranium due to the low concentration of uranium in the ores. The worldwide distribution of uranium ore is discussed. Next, the steps in preparing this material for processing in enrichment plants are described.

In the once-through (OT)-cycle the valuable uranium and plutonium as well as some of the minor actinides are not re-used. The spent fuel—after unloading from the reactor and being stored for about 50 years in intermediate storage facilities—is conditioned for permanent storage and then intended to be disposed in a deep geological repository.
