used to generate electricity, obtaining energy from radioactive decay; the English term for this is radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs). Plutonium or americium are mostly used in RTGs. In addition, so-called radioisotope heater units (RHUs) were developed to generate heat for the instruments. The US first used an RTG in navigation satellite in 1961...

Uranium is doing good business, especially in the USA, Canada and Great Britain. “TRiststructural-ISOtropic” is a nuclear fuel made of triple-coated Pac-spheres (plutonium, americium, curium). There is also a carbon layer. TRISO was developed for the Dragon high-temperature reactor (1967 – 1975). TRISO was later used at AVR Jülich, but not in this...

Doing business particularly in the USA, Canada and Great Britain. What is/was TRISO? “TRiststructural-ISOtropic” is a nuclear fuel made of triple-coated Pac-spheres (plutonium, americium, curium).

THTR Circular No. 141 July 2013
Supply and removal of THTR fuel elements: Fuel elements containing approximately 10,2 g of Th-232 and 0,96 g of U-235 were used in the thorium high-temperature reactor (THTR). Transuranic elements such as plutonium, americium and curium were not used in the production of the fuel elements. The balance of the fuel elements used in the THTR is as follows: Total added to the reactor...

There was an accident in Chernobyl in which radioactivity was released into the surrounding area. Destroyed fuel balls containing tens of thousands of 0,4 mm PAC beads (plutonium, americium, curium) were blown out over the exhaust chimney. The measuring strips for radioactivity emissions at the THTR operator showed blank spaces of...

piled up in a pile of balls. In addition to the graphite, a single fuel ball contains thousands of tiny PAC beads that can just be seen with the eye. PAC stands for Plutonium, Americium, Curium. If the highly radioactive fuel ball is destroyed, the tiny spheres and graphite dust can spread and become a major danger. 52 balls destroyed per...
THTR Circular No. 138 April 2012
In soil samples near the THTR, Samantha Seithe, together with graduate biologist Achim Hucke as supervisor, discovered conspicuous microscopic balls that resemble the PAC beads (plutonium, americium, curium) from the THTR fuel elements. Through their elaborate statistical recording of 35.000 birth and death dates in the cemeteries within 15 kilometers of the reactor...

Accident in which radioactive substances were released from the reactor. They may also include small radioactive spheres (PAC spheres consisting of plutonium, americium and curium), which could have left the reactor after the destruction of around 8.000 large spherical fuel elements. Since undamaged microbeads are still surrounded by a protective layer, they can...
knows from numerous illustrations his graphite fuel element balls, which have a diameter of approx. 6 cm. These contain several thousand so-called PAC beads (= plutonium, americium, curium) and are highly radioactive. As the weekly newspaper “Freitag” reported, exactly these small hollow balls were found in the garden soil in residential areas of Hanau. In the immediate vicinity...

in the absence of air and works on process optimization. The process has been registered for a patent. And the PAC beads in the fuel elements also cause problems. These are plutonium, americium and curium, with plutonium representing the dominant mass fraction at more than 90%. The heavy elements in particular have a very high radiotoxicity, which is due to the...
