Nuclear fuel cycle technologies and economics

该项目将评估各种核燃料和被视为先进技术燃料(ATF)的材料的经济表现。通过对燃料循环和系统的中子和燃料性能建模以及经济评估相结合，研究将为推进某些候选燃料提供理由，也为工业界提供关于改进效率和制造工艺以进一步提高先进燃料的经济性能的重点领域。

The project will assess the economic performance of various nuclear fuels and materials being considered as Advanced Technology Fuels (ATFs). Through a combination of neutronic and fuel performance modelling and economic assessment of the fuel cycle and system, research will provide justifications for advancing certain candidates, also providing areas for industry to focus on regarding improvements to efficiency and manufacturing processes to further enhance the economic performance of advanced fuels.
