Abstract
According to embodiments, a light water reactor uranium fuel assembly is capable of reducing heating values of both Am-241 and Cm-244, to reduce the amount of generated vitrified waste without using fast reactors. The light water reactor uranium fuel assembly is a light water reactor uranium fuel assembly to be used in a nuclear fuel cycle that extracts. An americium isotope is extracted at the time of reprocessing of spent fuel to be added to a fuel, in which a weight fraction W (unit: wt %) of americium 241 to be added to a fuel heavy metal is in ranges of
