plutonium cycle

基本解釋

Finally, the reprocessing that occurs in a closed fuel cycle produces plutonium that can be diverted for use in nuclear weapons.
最後，封閉式燃料循環(huán)中的再制作過(guò)程會(huì)産生鈽，而鈽可能會(huì)被用於核子武器。
In this paper the power flow, tritium and plutonium fuel cycle and the possibility of earlier application of the hybrid reactor as fusion energy source have been introduce briefly.
對(duì)慣性約束混郃堆的功率循環(huán)，氚鈈生産的燃料循環(huán)和混郃堆作爲(wèi)聚變能源的前期應(yīng)用的可能性作了簡(jiǎn)要的介紹。

Given a start with some other fissile material (U-233, U-235 or Pu-239) as a driver, a breeding cycle similar to but more efficient than that with U-238 and plutonium (in normal, slow neutron reactors) can be set up. (The driver fuels provide all the neutrons initially, but are progressively supplemented by U-233 as it forms from the thorium.) However, there are also features of the neutron economy which counter this advantage.
