DOI: 10.1017/s1431927620016955
Abstract: Fast reactor technology provides a path to transmute long-lived transuranic actinide isotopes contained in spent nuclear fuels. However, development and demonstration of this technology requires an in-depth understanding of the fuel performance. The Advanced Fuels… read more here.
