分离嬗变目前看来是次锕系核素回收和处理的比较可行路径,嬗变燃料研究也是第四代核能系统和先进核燃料循环技术的研究热点。本文简要归纳了嬗变燃料研究的主要特点以及当前国内外的研究现状,建议我国大力发展相关技术,特别是快堆嬗变燃料。此外,通过分析铅铋快堆/加速器驱动次临界系统(Accelerator Driven Sub-critical System
Background: The partitioning and transmutation (P&T) is considered as a feasible method to deal with nuclear waste. Lead-bismuth reactor is one of the most promising nuclear energy systems for Accelerator Driven System (ADS) and Generation-IV reactors. Transmutation fuel is concerned by both P&T and ADS system. Purpose: The aim is to select a suitable transmutation fuel for the lead-bismuth reactor. Methods: In this work
we analyzed characteristics of lead-bismuth reactor and ADS system
and summarized main features of transmutation fuels and design schemes of lead-bismuth reactors. Results: Most lead-bismuth reactors select nitride fuel
and features of nitride fuel are much more suitable than other fuels for the lead-bismuth system. Conclusion: Nitride fuel is currently the optimum selection of transmutation fuel in the lead-bismuth cooled reactor. Irradiation and transmutation experiments for nitride fuel in the Chinese Academy of Sciences ADS system are expected.Cited
