Num Pages: 362 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RNF; RNH; TGPR; THK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 240 x 160 x 20. Weight in Grams: 605.
A survey of recent developments in the field of plutonium disposal by the application of advanced nuclear systems, both critical and subcritical. Current national R&D plans are summarized. The actinide-fuelled critical reactors are associated with control problems, since they tend to have a small delayed neutron fraction coupled with a small Doppler effect and a positive void coefficient. Current thinking is turning to accelerator-driven subcritical systems for the transmutation of actinides.
The book's conclusion is that the various systems proposed are technically feasible, even though not yet technically mature. ... Read more
