Not exact matches

This nuclear fuel cycle would combine two innovations: pyrometallurgical processing (a high - temperature method of recycling reactor waste into fuel) and advanced fast - neutron reactors capable of burning that fuel.

In the 1980s this research was directed toward a fast reactor (dubbed the advanced liquidmetal reactor, or ALMR), with metallic fuel cooled by a liquid metal, that was to be integrated with a high - temperature pyrometallurgical processing unit for recycling and replenishing the fuel.

Coupling Reactor Types If advanced fast reactors come into use, they will at first burn spent thermal - reactor fuel that has been recycled using pyroprocessing.

That compatibility with metals is also why GE has chosen to make an alternative nuclear fuel as well, as part of its «Advanced Recycling Center» concept that includes PRISM reactors.

One of the big advantages offered by the PRISM reactor is that it offers a considerable advance in the ability to recycle used fuel and plutonium.

The PRISM reactor would use recycled nuclear fuel from a reprocessing facility known as the Advanced Recycling Center (ARC).

The PRISM reactor, as part of the Advanced Recycling Center, would recycle all the uranium and transuranics (elements heavier that uranium) contained within used nuclear fuel.

Achieving zero net carbon emissions is possible, even with continued burning of fossil fuels, said Dr. Patrinos, but only with the development of advanced biofuel production processes, and carbon capture and disposal or recycling technologies.

The reactor is called the PRISM and combined with pyroprocessing technology for recycling spent fuel it is called the Advanced Recyclinrecycling spent fuel it is called the Advanced RecyclingRecycling Center.
