Economics of Thorium Fuel Cycles

Description: Thorium utilization appears to permit development of an advanced technology involving fuel handling, processing, and refabricating on an economic basis. Based on U. S. cost rules, countercurrent fueling, and a throw-away cycle, heavy-water reactors fueled with Th-U/sup 235/ had fuel costs as low as natural-uranium-fueled systems. The spent fuel from the thorium system contained four times as much fissionable fuel as that from the natural-uranium system, and so processing costs and/or refabricat… more

Radioactivation Analysis

Description: The development of nuclear reactors and other sources of nuclear particles has provided the analyst with a new method which has been successfully applied to the determination of microgram and even submicrogram quantities of many elements. In this method, known as "radioactivation analysis," the element to be determined is "activated" through some type of nuclear reaction which produces a radioactive isotope of the element. Since the radioisotope produced decays with its own characteristic radia… more
