| 21. | Discharges from nuclear plants within the nuclear fuel cycle introduce fission products to the environment.
|
| 22. | In principle, breeder fuel cycles can recycle and consume all actinides, leaving only fission products.
|
| 23. | The uranium fuel cycle is spread across a number of facilities in the United States.
|
| 24. | Protactinium-233 is also part of the thorium fuel cycle.
|
| 25. | In thorium fuel cycle thorium-232 absorbs a neutron in either a fast or thermal reactor.
|
| 26. | Uranium enrichment is part of the fuel cycle.
|
| 27. | As a research and development program, GNEP is an outgrowth of the Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative
|
| 28. | This is the chemistry associated with any part of the nuclear fuel cycle, including nuclear reprocessing.
|
| 29. | Thorium is an alternate fuel cycle to uranium.
|
| 30. | It is, however, not trivial to compare the power density produced by different fusion fuel cycles.
