Abstract
As an international nuclear company and one which is involved throughout the nuclear fuel cycle, a complete (holistic) understanding of the technicalities and economics of a range of nuclear fuel cycles is an important part of Nexia Solutions' business. To this end, Nexia Solutions has developed the capability to model and assess a range of reactor systems and fuel cycles using both “off the shelf” as well as bespoke software, including tools developed in-house. This paper presents a range of potential United Kingdom (UK) specific nuclear fuel cycle options for current, near, medium and long-term deployment that have been evaluated using these analysis tools and capabilities. These fuel cycles illustrate how the UK could utilize the plutonium stockpile and highlights some of the key issues for UK new nuclear build scenarios in the near, medium and long term.
