This report serves to define and compare the options for the recycling of uranium in the United States nuclear fuel cycle. The merits of the options are assessed based on cost and their potential for waste mitigation. Recyclable Uranium (RU) usage is motivated by the desire to reduce the quantity of nuclear material that ultimately goes into a deep geologic repository. To recover additional energy from the uranium the US lead Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP) is presented as the framework in which RU recycling would take place. The primary purpose of this document is to develop a methodology that allows for fast fuel cycle economic and material balance calculations with regards to various RU scenarios. Two main RU options are present...
