Improved core design and integrated back-end fuel cycle scheme for 200 MWt marine molten chloride fast reactor

This study presents an improved core design and the introduction of integrated back-end fuel cycle scheme for a 200 MWt Molten Chloride Fast Reactor (MCFR) intended as nuclear marine propulsion. The objective is to increase fuel burnup and reducing uranium consumption whilst main...

Prediction of plutonium content of BWR/MOX fuel using a neural network

The Nuclear Material Balance (NMB) code is a comprehensive nuclear fuel cycle simulator developed by the Institute of Science Tokyo and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency. By modeling a fleet of reactors, fuel cycle simulators like NMB can help to optimize uranium and plutonium utili...
