摘要
Obtaining denaturated plutonium with Pu-238/Pu >= 6% in CANDU reactors can be achieved by introducing either Am-241 or Np-237 into the nuclear fuel. It was found that about the same results are obtained by doping the fuel with Am-241 or (237)NA In order not to reduce the fuel burnup, there is a need to enrich the uranium to 0.8% for both Am-241 and Np-237 doping.
