PEROVSKITE FROM SPURRITE-MERWINITE MARBLES OF THE KOCHUMDEK CONTACT AUREOLE: APPLICATION TO U-Pb DATING OF A THERMAL EVENT by A.S. Deviatiiarova, E.V. Sokol, S.N. Kokh, E.N. Nigmatulina

“…Perovskite is the main host for Th (up to 1550 ppm), U (up to 450 ppm), Ti, Zr, and LREEs (La + Ce + Pr + Nd); the element incorporation ratios are KTh = 516–870 and КU = 374. The U-Pb isotopic age of perovskite of 248.0 ± 7.2 Ma is in agreement with isotopic age values of traps of the Kuz’movsky complex.…”

Closed Fuel Cycle and Minor Actinide Multirecycling in a Gas-Cooled Fast Reactor by W. F. G. van Rooijen, J. L. Kloosterman

“…The GCFR targets sustainability, which is achieved by the use of a closed nuclear fuel cycle where only fission products are discharged to a repository; all Heavy Metal isotopes are to be recycled in the reactor. In this paper, an overview is presented of recent results obtained in the study of the closed fuel cycle and the influence of the addition of extra Minor Actinide (MA) isotopes from existing LWR stockpiles. …”
