Abstract

Many studies have been done on fusion-fission hybrid reactors for rejuvenation of spent fuels and production nuclear fuel for conventional nuclear reactors. Fusion-fission hybrid system is a combination of fusion and fission processes. Hybrid reactor bases on the principle of conversion of fertil materials ($^{238}$U or $^{232}$Th) surrounding plasma to fissile materials ($^{239}$Pu or $^{233}$U) by transmutation through the capture of high yield fusion neutrons. The other potential of the hybrid reactor is to burn actinides with high efficiency. This paper presents an overwiev of studies done by using different fuels in hybrid reactor.

Özet

Konvansiyonel nükleer reaktörlerde nükleer enerji üretimi için gerekli olan nükleer yakıt üretimi ve harcanmış yakıtların gençleştirilmesi ve aynı zamanda enerji üretimi için füzyon-fisyon hibrid reaktörleri üzerinde çalışılmaktadır. Füzyon-fisyon hibrid sistemi, füzyon ve fisyon işlemlerinin bir kombinasyonu olup, özellikleri birbirlerini tamamlar. Hibrid reaktör, yüksek orandaki füzyon nötronlarının yakalanmasıyla füzyon plazmayı çevreleyen mantodaki fertil malzemelerin ($^{238}$U veya $^{232}$Th) fisil malzemelere ($^{239}$Pu veya $^{233}$U) dönüşümü prensibine dayanır. Hibrid reaktörün bir diğer potansiyeli ise yüksek etkinlikle aktinitleri yakmasıdır. Bu çalışma, hibrid reaktörde değişik yakıtlar kullanılarak yapılan çalışmaların genel bir incelemesini sunmaktadır.
