    • A PWR Self- Contained Actinide Transmutation System 

      Shatilla, Y.; Hejzlar, Pavel; Kazimi, Mujid S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2006-09)
      Elements of the new Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP) initiative in the US call for the expansion of domestic use of nuclear power and the minimization of nuclear waste. To achieve both goals in the short term the ...

    • Fuel Cycle Options for Optimized Recycling of Nuclear Fuel 

      Aquien, A.; Kazimi, Mujid S.; Hejzlar, Pavel (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2006-06)
      The reduction of transuranic inventories of spent nuclear fuel depends upon the deployment of advanced fuels that can be loaded with recycled transuranics (TRU), and the availability of facilities to separate and reprocess ...

    • Actinide Minimization Using Pressurized Water Reactors 

      Visosky, M.; Kazimi, Mujid S.; Hejzlar, Pavel (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2006-06)
      Transuranic actinides dominate the long-term radiotoxicity in spent LWR fuel. In an open fuel cycle, they impose a long-term burden on geologic repositories. Transmuting these materials in reactor systems is one way to ...
