Abstract:
Seven models of homogeneous spent fuel transmutation reactor(HSTR) core with different spent fuel composition and core power have been constructed to burn the actinides.The burnup variation of plutonium,neptunium and other long-life actinides is calculated by FMCHR to analyze its capability on burning actinides.The result shows that the HSTR can be effectively used for burning
239Pu and transmuting
237NP.For the transmutation of
241Am and
243Am,an enhanced initial content of these two nuclides in the plutonyl nitrate or an adoption of uranyl nitrate are required.
