Fuel Cycle Sustainability Comparison
This milestone captures activities toward a comparison activity between thorium and uranium fuel cycles. This addresses an 2017 ANS FCWMD Grand Challenge: "How can we leverage the findings of the DOE's Evaluation and Screening Study to publicly establish the "most promising" nuclear fuel cycles and address some of the stretched "truths" about some fuel cy…
This milestone captures activities toward a comparison activity between thorium and uranium fuel cycles. This addresses an 2017 ANS FCWMD Grand Challenge: "How can we leverage the findings of the DOE's Evaluation and Screening Study to publicly establish the "most promising" nuclear fuel cycles and address some of the stretched "truths" about some fuel cycles (e.g. thorium fuel cycle being simpler safer and more secure to implement)?"
