Nükleer yakıt üretimi ve nükleer yakıt atıklarının değerlendirilmesi

Konvansiyonel nükleer reaktörlerde nükleer enerji üretimi için gerekli olan yakıt üretiminin ve nükleer atıkların dönüşümlerinin yapılması için iki farklı sistem üzerinde çalışılmaktadır. Bunlardan birincisi füzyon kaynaklı füzyon-fisyon (hibrid) reaktörleri, ikincisi ise hızlandırıcı kaynaklı sistemlerdir. Bu çalışmada her iki sistemin temel çalışma prensipleri verilerek nükleer yakıt üretimi açısından her iki sistemin karşılaştırılması yapılmıştır.

Production of nuclear fuel and evaluation of nuclear fuel wastes

Two different systems have been studied for transmutation of nuclear wastes and nuclear fuel necessary for nuclear energy production in conventional reactors. First of these systems is fusion driven fusion-fission hybrid reactors and second one is accelerator driven systems. In this study, basic working principles of these two systems are given and their comparison are done according to nuclear fuel production.
