Many advanced reactor concept designs rely on high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) fuel, enriched up to approximately 19.75% 235U by weight. Efforts are underway by the US government to increase HALEU production in the United States to meet antici...
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are becoming one of the key trends in the development of nuclear technology, offering a flexible, safe and cost-effective alternative to large nuclear power plants. This review defines the “driving force” of...
This study details the unique advantages and challenges associated with microreactors. Microreactors offer rapid installation and flexible application capabilities, meeting energy needs in remote and inaccessible areas. Unlike large nuclear power pla...
This paper presents the highlights of boiling water reactor (BWR) core physics studies performed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory as part of a series of studies conducted to compare low-enriched uranium (LEU) with LEU+ fuel. The studies analyzed isot...
Early cycle activities under the Transformational Challenge Reactor (TCR) program focused on analyzing and maturing four reactor core design concepts: two fast-spectrum systems and two thermal-spectrum systems. A rapid, iterative approach has been im...
Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) is an innovative and flexible approach for treating various forms of cancer, enabling selective delivery of cytotoxic radiation to cancerous cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Although TRT has proven...
