Abstract

In this paper a nonproliferating fuel for light water reactors is proposed. The nonproliferating aspects of the fuel are obtained by increasing the {sup 238}Pu/Pu ratio to 5% and above. This limit is maintained during the entire fuel cycle and, in particular, at low burnup values. The high value of the {sup 238}Pu/Pu ratio is obtained by introducing {sup 237}Np into the fuel. Some waste disposal aspects associated with {sup 237}Np are also discussed.
