dc.description.abstract© 2020 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.This paper deals with the problem of reprocessed uranium (RepU) enrichment in cascades of gas centrifuges with simultaneous fulfillment of requirements on concentrations of isotopes 232,234,236U. These harmful isotopes bred by nuclear chain reaction are responsible for an increase in radioactivity level and neutron poisoning of fresh nuclear fuel. The study examines the cascade schemes that aim at closing the nuclear fuel cycle by satisfying the formal condition of the complete uranium reclaim. The prospective VVER fuel cycle strategy of multiple uranium recycling is considered. Schemes under consideration are multi-cascade ones. Such configurations are necessary to fulfill both a series of requirements on concentrations of even-numbered isotopes in commercial low-enriched uranium and condition of 'full return' of uranium extracted from spent nuclear fuel from particular reactor to produce fresh fuel load for the same reactor. The research provides a basis for comparison between three various multi-cascade schemes designed to re-enrich RepU under mentioned above conditions. The unified metrics (related to ordinary cascade and normalized to LEU product) of natural uranium savings, separative work, and depleted uranium consumption and their derivative, we used. The calculations take into account the necessity of RepU dilution to compensate for the adverse effects of 232,234,236U isotopes. As the reference cascade scheme, a simple modification of a single triple-flow cascade for RepU enrichment was considered. It is demonstrated that some modern cascade schemes could provide repetitious recycling of uranium.
