铀-钍混合燃料反应堆的可行性分析

Study of Using ThO2 -UO2 as Fuel in Nuclear Power

摘要: 分析了以铀为燃料的核电系统的弊端、钍燃料反应堆的理论技术依据和世界范围内钍燃料反应堆的研究状况。提出在我国开发利用钍资源，建立铀．钍混合燃料反应堆具有的独特优势，建议应加大钍资源开发人力物力投入，改变我国核电利用水平落后和钍资源流失之现状。Nuclear energy is a preferred option for electric power generation. The disadvantages of the current uranium-dioxide （UO2 ） fuel in nuclear power were presented and the reactor using the mixed thorium dioxide and uranium dioxide fuel （ ThO2-UO2 ） in the near future was foretold. A proposal to strengthen the research cooperation on the use of the thorium mineral resources in china was put forward.
