highly enriched fuel
1Enriched uranium — Proportions of uranium 238 (blue) and uranium 235 (red) found naturally versus enriched grades Enriched uranium is a kind of uranium in which the percent composition of uranium 235 has been increased through the process of isotope separation.… …
2Nuclear fuel bank — A nuclear fuel bank is a proposed approach to provide countries access to enriched nuclear fuel, without the need for them to possess enrichment technology. The basic concept is that countries who do have enrichment technology would donate… …
3Nuclear fuel — Process …
4Nuclear fuel cycle — The nuclear fuel cycle, also called nuclear fuel chain, is the progression of nuclear fuel through a series of differing stages. It consists of steps in the front end, which are the preparation of the fuel, steps in the service period in which… …
5Nuclear Fuel Services — Inc. is an American company that has been a major supplier of fuel for the United States Navy s fleet of nuclear powered vessels since the 1960s. In recent years it has also processed weapons grade uranium into nuclear reactor fuel. It operates a …
6Spent nuclear fuel — Spent nuclear fuel, occasionally called used nuclear fuel, is nuclear fuel that has been irradiated in a nuclear reactor (usually at a nuclear power plant) to the point where it is no longer useful in sustaining a nuclear reaction. Nuclear… …
7Pool-type reactor — NC State s PULSTAR Reactor is a 1 MW pool type research reactor with 4% enriched, pin type fuel consisting of UO2 pellets in zircaloy cladding …
8Nuclear chain reaction — A possible nuclear fission chain reaction. 1. A uranium 235 atom absorbs a neutron, and fissions into two new atoms (fission fragments), releasing three new neutrons and a large amount of binding energy. 2. One of those neutrons is absorbed by an …
9TOPAZ nuclear reactor — The TOPAZ nuclear reactor is a lightweight nuclear reactor developed for long term space use by the Soviet Union. Cooled by liquid metal, it uses a high temperature moderator containing hydrogen and highly enriched fuel and produces electricity… …
10Miniature neutron source reactor — The Chinese built Miniature Neutron Source reactor (MNSR) is a small and compact research reactor copied from a Canadian SLOWPOKE reactor design. The MNSR is tank in pool type, with highly enriched fuel ( 90% U235 ). The tank is immersed in a… …
