Spent fuel shipping, reprocessing, and recycle fabrication in the HTGR fuel cycle

From joint power generation conference; New Orleans, Louasiana, USA (16 Sep 1973). The High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor (HTGR) fuel recycle operation is described. The description includes the HTGR spent fuel shipping system and the proposed method of reprocessing the spent fuel to recover the bred /sup 233/U and /sup 235/U. The process for refabricating the recovered fuel into recycle fuel is also discussed. (auth)
