FEBRUARY JOINT SOCIETY MEETING
Topic: Recycling Nuclear Reactors
Speaker: Eric P.
Loewen
Chief Consulting Engineer, Advanced Plants Technology
General Electric-Hitachi Nuclear
Wilmington, NC
Summary:
This will be a three-part presentation providing an
overview of GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy's (GEH) current
commercial efforts, Gem's sodium fast
reactor, and the implications of the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership.
Commercially, GEH is involved with nuclear power plant construction,
servicing the existing fleet and producing nuclear fuel. GEH has a history
with sodium fast reactors and our most current design is called
PRISM.
PRISM was developed from the U.S. sodium cooled fast reactor investigations
from 1984 through 1994.
The PRISM features of fuel type,
basis design, safety and economics will be discussed. The presentation
will also discuss the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership goals in closing
the fuel cycle and reducing proliferation resistance and how PRISM, coupled
with electro-refining, can provide an integrated technical
solution for this new policy.
