...The life cycle of uranium (U) used to utilize atomic energy as energy is called the nuclear fuel cycle. Nuclear energy has two forms: nuclear fission energy and nuclear fusion energy. When using nuclear fission energy, thorium (Th) is also considered as a fuel in addition to uranium, and when using nuclear fusion energy, the fuels considered are the hydrogen isotopes deuterium 2H (deuterium) and tritium 3H (tritium). The term nuclear fuel cycle is sometimes used to refer to these fuels, but since they have not yet been used in reality, today the nuclear fuel cycle refers to the cycle for uranium. ... *Some of the terminology used in the "uranium forming and processing process" is listed below.

…原子力をエネルギーとして利用するために用いられるウランUの一生を核燃料サイクルという。原子力には核分裂エネルギーと核融合エネルギーとがある。核分裂エネルギーの利用では,燃料にはウラン以外にもトリウムThが考えられ,また核融合エネルギーの利用で考えられている燃料は水素の同位体である重水素2H(ジュウテリウム)と三重水素3H(トリチウム)である。これらの燃料についても核燃料サイクルという言葉を用いることがあるが,現実にはまだ利用されていないので,今日では核燃料サイクルといえばウランについてのサイクルを意味する。… ※「ウランの成形・加工過程」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
