    • Alternative Fuel Cycle Strategies For Nuclear Power Generation In The 21st Century 

      Boscher, T.; Hejzlar, Pavel; Kazimi, Mujid S.; Todreas, Neil E.; Romano, A. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2005-06-01)
      The deployment of fuel recycling through either CONFU (COmbined Non-Fertile and UO[subscript 2] fuel) thermal water-cooled reactors (LWRs) or fast ABR (Actinide Burner Reactor) reactors is compared to the Once-Through ...

    • Combining Thorium with Burnable Poison for Reactivity Control of a Very Long Cycle BWR 

      Inoue, Y.; Pilat, Edward E.; Xu, Z.; Kazimi, Mujid S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2004-06)
      The effect of utilizing thorium together with gadolinium, erbium, or boron burnable absorber in BWR fuel assemblies for very long cycle is investigated. Nuclear characteristics such as reactivity and power distributions ...

    • Optimization of the LWR Nuclear Fuel Cycle for Minimum Waste Production 

      Shwageraus, Eugene; Hejzlar, Pavel; Kazimi, Mujid S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2003-10)
      The once through nuclear fuel cycle adopted by the majority of countries with operating commercial power reactors imposes a number of concerns. The radioactive waste created in the once through nuclear fuel cycle has to ...
