Thorium and Uranium Fuel Cycle Literature Review

[katyhuff]

This issue kicks off activities toward a comparison activity between thorium and uranium fuel cycles to be conducted by @jbae11 (now @ZoeRichter ???) . To serve this activity, this literature review should:

• be reflected (by adding reviewed papers to a folder) in the group zotero
• identify all similar work in this area, summarize the methods and conclusions.
• be recorded in a document resembling the literature review chapter of an MS thesis
• identify common metrics used to evaluate the sustainability of a fuel cycle or similar system
• determine the promise of these metrics for evaluating a dynamic rather than static scenario (that is, some static metrics may not make sense in a dynamic scenario and vice versa)
• identify the technologies to compare in these transition scenarios
• identify appropriate reactor specifications for representing the technologies to be compared

(it was proposed by @jbae11 that this issue should have a deadline of 12/20)
