Pros and Cons Analysis of HALEU Utilization in Example Fuel Cycles
Author(s): T. K. Kim, E. Hoffman (ANL); B. Dixon (INL); A. Cuadra (BNL)
The Systems Analysis and Integration campaign assessed the pros and cons of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) utilization in advanced reactors and associated fuel cycles. The assessment was done for three example fuel cycles at equilibrium states: once-through, limited recycle, and continuous recycle (CR) starting with HALEU.
