3.0. Nuclear fuel cycle

Chapter 3 covers the nuclear fuel cycle from a macroscopic perspective. This material should be general knowledge to a point, and it was put together to help students communicate nuclear energy information with friends and family as well as a stepping stone into more specialized knowledge conveyed in a graduate class.

Learning Objectives

  • Demonstrating how the nuclear fuel cycle is an holistic system
  • Explaining why the nuclear fuel cycle is what it is
  • Model a nominal solvent extraction system
