    • Seed-blanket type nuclear reactor cores (10, 100) are employed to burn thorium fuel with conventional reactor fuels, including nonproliferative enriched uranium, and weapons or reactor grade plutonium. In a first embodiment, the core (10) is completely nonproliferative in that neither the reactor fuel, nor the generated waste material, can be used to manufacture nuclear weapons. In a second embodiment of the invention, the core (100) is employed to burn large amounts of weapons grade plutonium with the thorium, and provides a convenient mechanism by which stockpiled weapons grade plutonium can be destroyed and converted into electrical energy. The cores of both embodiments are comprises of a plurality of seed-blanket units (12, 102) which have centrally located seed regions (18, 104) that are surrounded by annular blanket regions (20, 106). The seed regions contain the uranium or plutonium fuel rods (22, 110), while the blanket regions contain thorium fuel rods (26, 118). The moderator/fuel volume ratios and relative sizes of the seed and blanket regions are optimized so that neither embodiment generates waste materials that can be employed for manufacturing nuclear weapons. A novel refueling scheme is also employed with the first embodiment to maximize seed fuel utilization, and further ensure that the spent fuel cannot be employed for manufacturing nuclear weapons.
    • 采用种子毯型核反应堆堆芯(10,100),用常规反应堆燃料(包括非增殖性浓缩铀)和武器或反应堆级钚燃烧钍燃料。 在第一实施例中,核心(10)完全不增殖,因为反应堆燃料和生成的废料都不能用于制造核武器。 在本发明的第二实施例中,核心(100)用于用钍燃烧大量的武器级钚,并且提供便利的机制,通过该机制可以销毁储存的武器级钚并将其转化为电能。 两个实施例的芯包括多个种子毯单元(12,102),所述种子毯单元具有居中定位的种子区(18,104),所述种子区由环形毯区(20,106)围绕。 种子区域包含铀或钚燃料棒(22,110),而毯子区域包含钍燃料棒(26,118)。 对种子和毯子区域的减速剂/燃料体积比和相对尺寸进行优化,使得两个实施例都不会产生可用于制造核武器的废料。 第一种实施方案也采用了新的加油方案,以最大限度地利用种子燃料,并进一步确保乏燃料不能用于制造核武器。
