摘要
Reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel became the key issues for the environmentally friendly and sustainable development of nuclear energy.For the future development of nuclear energy requirements,the concept of an acceleratordriven advanced nuclear energy system(ADANES)has been proposed in China.ADANES consists of a burner system and a fuel recycle system.The waste transmutation,breeding,and power production are implemented in the burner driven by the neutron source outside the accelerator.It is not necessary to carry out the fine partitioning for minor actinides due to the higher-power neutron source.Hence,in this fuel reprocessing,only part of the fission products containing neutron poisons from spent nuclear fuels will be separated and disposed.The rest spent nuclear fuel,uranium dioxide along with transuraniums including Pu,Np and Am will be regenerated as new nuclear fuels and burned subsequently.
