Abstract

The quantities of plutonium and other fuel act in i d e s have been calculated for equlibrium fuel cycles for 1000 Mw water reactors fueled with slightly enriched uranium, water reactors fueled with plutanium and natural uranium, fast-breed reactors, gas-cooled reactors fueled with thorium, and highly enriched uranium, and gas-cooled reactors fueled with thorium, plutoniura, and recycled uranium.
