| titleOfInvention | Seed-Blanket Reactor |
| abstract | The seed-blanket reactor core 10,100 is employed to combust thorium fuel with conventional reactor fuel, including non-diffuse enriched uranium, and inorganic or reactor grade plutonium. In the first embodiment, the core 10 is completely non-proliferative in that the reactor fuel and the resulting waste cannot be used to produce nuclear weapons. In a second embodiment of the present invention, the core 100 is employed to combust a large amount of inorganic grade plutonium with thorium and employs a conventional mechanism in which stored inorganic grade plutonium can collapse and be converted into electrical energy. to provide. The cores of both embodiments consist of a plurality of seed-blanket units 12, 102 having seed regions 18, 104 located centrally and surrounded by annular blanket regions 20,106. The seed region includes uranium or plutonium fuel rods 22, 110, while the blanket region includes thorium fuel rods 26, 118. The moderator / fuel volume ratio and the relative size of the seed and blanket areas are optimized so that neither of the two embodiments produces waste that can be used for nuclear weapons manufacturing. In addition, the new fuel supply scheme maximizes seed fuel utilization and also It is employed with the first embodiment to ensure that the spent fuel cannot be used for nuclear weapon production. |
