Prerequisites (description)
This course provides a technical and policy analysis of various options for the nuclear fuel cycle. Topics include uranium supply, enrichment fuel fabrication, in-core physics ( reactivity curve of fuel and its importance, the refuelling process, significance of flux/power shape in reactor, how and why to flatten the flux distribution - adjuster rods, differential fuelling) and fuel management of uranium, thorium and other fuel types, reprocessing and waste disposal. Also covered are the principles of fuel cycle economics and the applied reactor physics of both contemporary and proposed thermal and fast reactors. Non-proliferation aspects, disposal of excess weapons plutonium, and transmutation of actinides and selected fission products in spent fuel are examined.
Assessment criteria
