Recent progress in neutrino factory and muon collider research within the Muon Collaboration

Mohammad M. Alsharo'a, +177 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the status of the effort to realize a first neutrino factory and the progress made in understanding the problems associated with the collection and cooling of muons towards that end are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of Thorium in Light Water Reactors

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of thorium-based fuels has been investigated in the light water reactor (LWR) nuclear fuel cycle. But, the main sources of proliferation potential and radiotoxicity are the plutonium and higher actinides generated during the burnup of standard LWR fuel, and a significant reduction in the quantity and quality of generated Pu can be achieved by replacing the 238 U fertile component of conventional low-enriched uranium fuel by 232 Th Thorium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neutronic performance of uranium nitride composite fuels in a PWR

TL;DR: In this article, an operational assessment of four different candidate composite materials was performed for nominal conditions in a reference PWR with Zr-based cladding, and the impact of UN porosity on the operational performance was assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Screening of advanced cladding materials and UN–U3Si5 fuel

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated UN-U3Si5 fuel with Kanthal AF or APMT cladding and showed that the UO2-Zr fuel claddings performed similar to the zirconium alloy cladding in terms of safety coefficients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neutronic evaluation of a PWR with fully ceramic microencapsulated fuel. Part I: Lattice benchmarking, cycle length, and reactivity coefficients

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of the lattice-level neutronic study of doubly heterogeneous FCM fuel were presented, and the results showed that the linear reactivity model does not provide a good estimate of the fuel cycle length, due primarily to nonlinear reactivity behavior at high burn-up (>800 effective full power days).
