Assuming that "fuel element“ is needed, became 186 results found.

because a new one would have taken about a year. So after block one threatened to be out of service for a long time, new trouble loomed. Block two should actually also be shut down as planned to allow for fuel element replacement. It took some persuasion to convince the International Atomic Energy Agency that this could be temporarily suspended due to the extremely tense...

EVU ESKOM wants to build a pebble pile type nuclear reactor in South Africa. It is a graphite-moderated, helium-cooled, high-temperature reactor. Such a reactor, equipped with spherical fuel elements, has so far only been built in Germany (Thorium High Temperature Reactor, THTR in Hamm-Uentrop, Westphalia). The reactor type is considered...

At three percent we still speak of low-enriched uranium. Studies 1986 - 2015 Plutonium diversion is possible The diversion option during reactor operation, during which fuel elements can be removed or added without interrupting continuous power operation, is a special feature of HTR technology and is viewed by operators as a particular advantage...

Small radioactive PAC spheres that are barely visible to the eye were found in soil samples. Exactly those that were used for the fuel elements in the thorium high-temperature reactor (THTR) Hamm-Uentrop, which was decommissioned in 1989, and were manufactured in the notorious Hanau nuclear plants. There, too, researchers found these PAC beads in the garden soil just a few hundred meters away. The fascist...
RWE NUKEM has been active in the South African Pebble Bed Modular project since 2000. On August 24.08.2005, 101, RWE Nukem signed a cooperation agreement for the production of nuclear fuel elements for the South African high-temperature reactor. We reported on this in detail in issue number XNUMX of the THTR newsletter. Now RWE has sold exactly this division to the financial investor “Advent”...

been documented. The gentlemen from ISR also surprised us with the following fact: During the operation of the high-temperature reactors AVR and THTR, around one million irradiated fuel elements were produced. And where should we suddenly put it now, when we have only known for 30 years that these radioactive spherical fuel elements are created during THTR operation and must be "disposed of"? - Nice and good,...
