The reactor physics characteristics of a transuranic mixed oxide fuel in a heavy water moderated reactor
Abstract
The reprocessing actinide materials extracted from spent fuel for use in mixed oxide fuels is a key component in maximizing the spent fuel repository utility. While fast spectrum reactor technologies are being considered in order to close the fuel cycle, and transmute these actinides, there is potential to utilize existing pressurized heavy water reactors such as the CANDU®11CANDU is a trademark of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited. design to …
