Cumulative fuel commitment for light water reactors: is there a uranium crunch. The fusion-fission fuel factory can help

Description: It can cautiously be stated that there is not an imminent U.S. uranium crunch, because the installed capacity of fission reactors to 1990 is less than was anticipated. We have time for careful judgment and deliberation. We probably have until at least the year 2000 before beginning the phasing-in of a new technology to augment or replace the light water reactor. Consequently the fusion-fission hybrid appears to have strong potential as a fuel factory supplying fuel to the LWR industry. The hybr… more

Mirror hybrid reactors

Description: The fusion-fission hybrid is a combination of the fusion and fission processes, having features which are complementary. Fission energy is running out of readily available fuel, and fusion has extra neutrons which can be used to breed that fission fuel. Fusion would have to take on an extra burden of radioactivity, but this early application would give fusion, which does not work well enough now to make power, practical experience which may accelerate development of pure fusion.

Fuel-Cycle energy and emission impacts of ethanol-diesel blends in urban buses and farming tractors.

Description: About 2.1 billion gallons of fuel ethanol was used in the United States in 2002, mainly in the form of gasoline blends containing up to 10% ethanol (E10). Ethanol use has the potential to increase in the U.S. blended gasoline market because methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), formerly the most popular oxygenate blendstock, may be phased out owing to concerns about MTBE contamination of the water supply. Ethanol would remain the only viable near-term option as an oxygenate in reformulated gasoli… more

Capital requirements and fuel-cycle energy and emissions impacts of potential PNGV fuels.

Description: Our study reveals that supplying gasoline-equivalent demand for the low-market-share scenario requires a capital investment of less than $40 billion for all fuels except H{sub 2}, which will require a total cumulative investment of $150 billion. By contrast, cumulative capital investments under the high-market-share scenario are $50 billion for LNG, $90 billion for ethanol, $100 billion for methanol, $160 billion for CNG and DME, and $560 billion for H{sub 2}. Although these substantial capital… more
