Abstract

As an international nuclear company involved in all aspects of the nuclear fuel cycle, a complete (holistic) understanding of the technicalities and economics of a range of distinct nuclear fuel cycles is an important part of BNFL's business. To this end, BNFL has developed the capability to model and assess a range of reactor systems and fuel cycles using both "off the shelf" as well as bespoke software, including tools developed in-house. This paper provides a brief description of the tools used including those developed by BNFL and presents an example case (the current UK fuel cycle) to illustrate the usefulness and accuracy of such tools and methods.
