Fusion Reactors in a Promising Nuclear Power System

Blandinsky, V. Yu. / Kuzenkova, D. S. / Rodionova, E. V. / Subbotin, S. A. / Tsibulski, S. V. / Shchepetina, T. D.

The present paper considers an alternative concept of expanding the nuclear power fuel base for fissile isotopes by producing 233U from 232Th in the blankets of fusion reactors. The advantages of this concept, such as a significant reduction in the risks of environmental pollution due to the low radioactivity of reprocessed fuel, are shown. Several scenarios for the production and use of a new fissile isotope in thermal neutron spectrum reactors (VVER) are considered and the possibility of closing the fuel cycle in a system of thermal reactors with a fusion neutron source for heavy nuclei is demonstrated.
