摘要

Using multi-recycling without actinides separation it is possible to establish a breed-and-burn mode of operation in fast reactor cores that are fed with depleted uranium without violating any of the presently accepted radiation damage constraints. The maximum burnup attainable using this mode of operation in large fast reactors is found to be 55%. This corresponds to two orders of magnitude increase in the uranium ore utilization relative to that achievable in once-through LWRs. The energy value of the depleted uranium accumulated worldwide, when used in the proposed breed-and-burn energy system, is equivalent to 3000 years of the present global nuclear capacity. Relative to LWR operating with the once-through fuel cycle, the fuel discharged from the breed-and-burn fast reactor and fuel cycle hereby proposed features, per unit of electricity generated: (a) -40% the amount of TRU and Pu; (b) -10% the inventory of ~(237)Np and its precursors; (c) -12% of the decay heat from TRU one year following discharge; (d) -28% of the radiotoxicity; (e) -7% the neutron emission rate one year following discharge. The fraction of the fissile isotopes in the discharged plutonium is comparable but the decay heat and neutron emission rate per unit mass of discharged plutonium are nearly half as large. The proposed mode of operation is expected to improve the economics and the proliferation resistance and, hence, may justify sooner deployment of fast reactors. The deployment of the suggested fast reactor system will constitute a significant step forward towards sustainable nuclear energy.
