DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Thorium Energy Conference (ThEC13) gathered some of the world’s leading experts on thorium technologies to review the possibility of destroying nuclear waste in the short term, and replacing the uranium fuel cycle in nuclear systems with the thorium fuel cycle in the long term. The latter would provide abundant, reliable and safe energy with no CO2 production, no air pollution, and minimal waste production. The participants, representatives of 30 countries, included Carlo Rubbia, Nobel Prize Laureate in physics and inventor of the Energy Amplifier; Jack Steinberger, Nobel Prize Laureate in physics; Hans Blix, former Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA); Rolf Heuer, Director General of CERN; Pascal Couchepin, former President of the Swiss Confederation; and Claude Haegi, President of the FEDRE, to name just a few. The ThEC13 proceedings are a source of reference on the use of thorium for energy generation. They offer detailed technical reviews of the status of thorium energy technologies, from basic R&D to industrial developments. They also describe how thorium can be used in critical reactors and in subcritical accelerator-driven systems (ADS), answering the important questions: – Why is thorium so attractive and what is the role of innovation, in particular in the nuclear energy domain? – What are the national and international R&D programs on thorium technologies and how are they progressing? ThEC13 was organized jointly by the international Thorium Energy Committee (iThEC), an association based in Geneva, and the International Thorium Energy Organisation (IThEO). It was held in the Globe of Science and Innovation at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva, Switzerland, in October 2013.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSensitivity coefficients for the nuclear data of the principal constituents of a representative /sup 233/U-/sup 232/Th fueled LMFBR have been generated. Generalized perturbation coefficients for several reactor parameters were computed with the VARI code and ENDF/B Version 4 data for a homogeneous one-dimensional spherical model. The following ten reactor parameters were studied: eigenvalue; breeding ratio; inner core conversion ratio; outer core conversion ratio; central reaction rate ratios of f/sup 02/, c/sup 23/, and c/sup 02/ relative to f/sup 23/; and the central material reactivity worths of /sup 233/U, /sup 232/Th, and /sup 23/Na. Total (energy-integrated) and energy-dependent sensitivity coefficients were obtained for each of these parameters to each of the following nuclear data: sigma/sub f/ for /sup 233/U, /sup 234/U, /sup 232/Th, and /sup 233/Pa; sigma/sub c/ for /sup 233/U, /sup 234/U, /sup 232/Th, /sup 233/Pa, /sup 23/Na, SS316, and fission products; anti .nu. for /sup 233/U and /sup 232/Th; and sigma/sub inel/ for /sup 232/Th. These data are combined with estimated data uncertainties and with observed large differences in recent data evaluations to project the impact on integral parameters calculated for a /sup 233/U-/sup 232/Th fueled LMFBR.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book describes the Proceedings of the International Conference on Nuclear Data for Science and Technology held at Jillich in May 1991. The conference was in a series of application oriented nuclear data conferences organized in the past under the auspices of the Nuclear Energy Agency-Nuclear Data Committee (NEANDC) and with the support of the Nuclear Energy Agency-Committee on Reactor Physics (NEACRP). It was the fIrst international conference on nuclear data held in Germany, with the scientific responsibility entrusted to the Institute of Nuclear Chemistry of the Research Centre Jillich. The scientific programme was established by the International Programme Committee in consultation with the International Advisers, and the NEA and IAEA cooperated in the organization. A total of 328 persons from 37 countries and fIve international organizations participated. The scope of these Proceedings extends to a wide range of interdisciplinary topics dealing with measu rement, calculation, evaluation and application of nuclear data, with a major emphasis on numerical data. Both energy and non-energy related applications are considered and due attention is given to some fundamental aspects relevant to the understanding of nuclear data.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume presents recent progress in the improvement of the nuclear database needed for the development of Generation IV nuclear energy systems.The Generation IV International Forum (GIF) identified six advanced concepts for sustainable nuclear energy production at competitive prices and with advanced safety, with special attention to nuclear non-proliferation and physical protection issues, minimization of long-lived radiotoxic waste, and optimum natural resource utilization System groups have been established for studying these concepts in detail, and nuclear data are an inherent part of these studies. This book reviews the work recently performed for the development of these systems.The contributions include an up-to-date overview of recent achievements in sensitivity analysis, model calculations, estimates of uncertainties, and the present status of nuclear databases with regard to their applications to Generation IV systems. In the workshop, special attention was given to the identification of nuclear data needs from sensitivity analysis of benchmark experiments and the treatment of uncertainties. The proceedings contain overviews of several experimental program and recent results of interest for the development of Generation IV systems.
