Abstract

The MEU-HTR fuel element is proposed in order to use lower enriched U and to preserve the potential of the HTR as converter and as process heat source. If the final storage of nuclear fuel is not licensed in the Federal Republic of Germany, a complete fuel cycle must be available for the spent nuclear fuel management of this type of fuel. Therefore, the composition of spent mixed oxide MEU-HTR fuel was calculated in this study, considering various recycling strategies. The following conclusions may be drawn from the resulting data.
