ENHANCED NUCLEAR SAFETY OF SPENT FUEL [PDF]

open access: yesThe Proceedings of the International Conference on Nuclear Engineering (ICONE), 2019
Criticality safety analysis of highly enriched nuclear fuels requires sophisticated calculation techniques like burnup credit in order to show that fuel reactivity is below legislative limits. However, new fuel types are continuously introduced and the increase of the boron concentration in the absorbing tubes of spent fuel pool racks or spent fuel ...

Disposal of spent nuclear fuel [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
This report addresses the topic of the mined geologic disposal of spent nuclear fuel from Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR) and Boiling Water Reactors (BWR). Although some fuel processing options are identified, most of the information in this report relates to the isolation of spent fuel in the form it is removed from the reactor.

Developments in reprocessing of spent nuclear fuels for the thorium fuel cycle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Thorium, which is a fissile nuclide, was considered as a fuel for nuclear power plants in the beginning of the nuclear era. Then it was more or less forgotten for 30-40 years but is now gaining renewed, increased interest.
