Because thermal reactors use slow or moderated neutrons, the actinides that are not fissionable with thermal neutrons tend to absorb the neutrons instead of fissioning.
22.
Therefore, Pu-242 is particularly unsuited to recycling in a thermal reactor and would be better used in a fast reactor where it can be fissioned directly.
23.
The problem of economics could be seen in the decision last week of the government's Atomic Energy Commission to abandon plans to build the advanced thermal reactor.
24.
A Ukrainian nuclear official suggested Thursday that Western countries pay to build three conventional thermal reactors so that energy-strapped Ukraine could close the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
25.
Emissions equipment such as EGR ( Exhaust Gas Recirculation ) and an air pump were used on the 530i, along with modified exhaust manifolds called Thermal Reactors.
26.
Pu-240 does have a moderate thermal neutron absorption cross section, so that Pu-241 production in a thermal reactor becomes a significant fraction as large as Pu-239 production.
27.
Such a reactor needs no neutron moderator, but must use fuel that is relatively rich in fissile material when compared to that required for a thermal reactor.
28.
The decision to cancel the Advanced Thermal Reactor project, begun in 1966, marked the latest backtracking by Japan on its plans to use plutonium in nuclear power plants.
29.
Another problem is the low thermal inertia and poor heat removal capability at low helium pressures, although these issues are shared with thermal reactors which have been constructed.
30.
In a thermal reactor, 241 Am captures a neutron to become americium-242, which quickly becomes curium-242 ( or, 17.3 % of the time, 242 Pu ) via beta decay.
