The disposal of nuclear waste materials and the long-term supply with fissile materials are two questions that the present nuclear energy policy does not answer sufficiently enough, on the background of a global environmental compatibility and a long-term availability of resources. Today efforts are being undertaken on a global scale in order to find a solution for this problem. The fast development in accelerator technologies presents technical alternatives that attempt to solve this conflict. The disposal of nuclear waste materials and the production of net fissile materials are theoretically possible in subcritical nuclear plants. Subcritical plants excel due to their nuclear safety behaviour and due to their flexibility concerning the design of plants. This flexibility allows i. e. the use of fluid fuel in low concentrations. This doctoral thesis exposes two possible applications of subcritical nuclear plants based on accelerator technologies. The analysis deals with the transmutation of highly active nuclear waste materials (actinides and long-lived fission products) and the production of fissile material in the Th-cycle. The analysis is shown of a neutron physical perspective and mainly based on thermal high-flux systems with fluid fuels. |
