| Abstract | A catalogue raisonné is presented of various advanced fuel cycle options which have the potential for substantially improving the uranium utilization of CANDU-PHW reactors. Three categories of cycles are considered: once-through cycles without recovery of fissile materials. cycles that depend on the recovery and recycle of fissile materials in thorium or uranium. cycles that depend primarily on the production of fissile material in a fertile blanket by means of an intense neutron source other than fission, such as an accelerator breeder. Detailed tables are given of the isotopic compositions of the feed and discharge fuels, the logistics of materials and processes required to sustain each of the cycles, and tables of fuel cycle costs based on a method of continuous discounting of cash flow.
