Abstract
The Fix Bed Nuclear Reactor (FBNR) is a pressurized water reactor but its fuel elements are made of Tristructural-Isotropic (TRISO) type particles. Its spent fuel elements may be used as a source of radiation for irradiation purposes in medicine, industry and agriculture. Thereafter, the waste treatment problem is the same as for the fourth generation high-temperature nuclear reactors using TRISO particles. It is found that using the proposed simplified TRISO particles increases the reactivity of the reactor, resulting in higher fuel burnup; while in recycling of its spent fuel, the amount of radioactive carbon is reduced by 57%.
