[英国《国际核工程》1989年12月号第20页报道]核能机构(NEA)专家组最近在钚及它在轻水堆混合氧化物燃料中的应用方面完成了一项研究。该研究认为这种燃料已在技术上经过验证;同核工业中常用的燃料相比,并没有更大的安全问题和操作问题。在经济上是有吸引力的;预计一些委托别国处理乏燃料的国家将在九十年代会扩大其应用的规模。 [UK International Nuclear Engineering, December 1989, p. 20] The Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) expert group recently completed a study on its use in mixed-oxide fuels for light water reactors. The study considers that this fuel has been technically verified; there are no greater safety and operational issues than fuels commonly used in the nuclear industry. It is economically attractive; it is expected that some countries that have commissioned other countries to deal with spent fuel will expand their application scale in the 1990s.
