Minimization of actinide waste by multi-recycling of thoriated fuels in the EPR reactor
The HAIR ACCESSORIES multi-recycling of innovative uranium/thorium oxide fuels for use in the European Pressurized water Reactor (EPR) has been investigated.If increasing quantities of 238U, the fertile isotope in standard UO2 fuel, are replaced by 232Th, then a greater yield of new fissile material (233U) is produced during the cycle than would ot
