Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

To satisfy growing electricity demands and recent trends in nuclear power, the paper proposes an innovative fuel cycle scenario based on well-established light water-cooled reactor technology. The originality of this study relies on the synergetic potential of Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) and Pressure Tube Graphite Reactor (PTGR) in achieving proliferation resistant and high burnup fuel cycle. Suggested approach is suitable for countries or remote territories that are not provided with sufficient nuclear infrastructure. (authors)
