根据一体化快中子增殖堆计划建在阿贡国家实验室的燃料循环装置,自1995年初就已作好处理乏燃料的准备事宜。按照上述计划,最先应试验完全闭合的燃料循环。为此所需的快中子增殖难已于1964年投入运行,然而由于能源部资金短缺而使该堆于1994年9月30日关闭。 资金短缺与该计划的后处理和转形部分无关。今后,乏燃料仍需要处理,但它们不再制成新的燃料元件,而是通过转形使其成为可供最终贮存的物料。这
The fuel cycle unit, built at the Argonne National Laboratory under the Integrated Fast Neutron Breeder Program, has been ready for spent fuel preparation since early 1995. According to the above plan, the first full closed fuel cycle should be tested. The fast neutron multiplication required for this purpose was very difficult to put into operation in 1964, but the pile was closed on September 30, 1994, due to a shortage of funds from the Department of Energy. The shortage of funds has nothing to do with the reprocessing and transformation of the plan. In the future, spent fuel will still need to be disposed of, but instead of being made into new fuel elements, they will be transformed to make them ready for final storage. This
