Nuclear Fuel Cycle of Dukovany NPP
Dudáš, Michal ; Foral, Štěpán (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
The goal of this bachelor’s thesis is to introduce the nuclear fuel cycle of nuclear power plant Dukovany focusing on its middle part. It describes the methods of loading fuel assemblies in-out and out-in, the differences between continual (on-load reactors) and campaign kind of fuel cycle. There are briefly described individual types of fuel used on nuclear power plant Dukovany from the start to recent days. It is further followed by the external fuel cycle. The front end describes more about mining, enrichment and fabrication. There are also few different separation methods of uranium described. The back end deals with different ways of spent fuel storage, spent fuel pools, and dry cask storage as well as ultimate disposal. The paper also contains brief overview among the most known nuclear reactors with the short descriptions of its own nuclear fuel cycles. It is further followed by description of fuel cycles with different length, focusing on different types of fuel and different loading methods. There is also a possible concept of outages for nuclear power plant Dukovany considering few different long lasting campaigns. The paper contains economic assessment considering the simplified conditions. It also deals with pros and cons of individual cycles focusing on organization operating and spent fuel storage.
