The Change of Paradigm in Nuclear Fuel Optimization
From Conservatism to Synergy
Current nuclear fuel optimization cannot predict accidents and suffers from great uncertainty. This book details a new philosophy based on the synergic paradigm to minimize radioactive leakage, resolve the safety-efficiency contradiction, and ensure safer reactor operation.
