Comparison of neutronic behavior of UO2, (Th-233U)O2 and (Th-235U)O2 fuels in a typical heavy water reactor
The research carried out on thorium-based fuels indicates that these fuels can be considered as economic alternatives with improved physical properties and proliferation resistance issues. In the current study, neutronic assessment of UO2 in comparison with two (Th-233U)O2, and (Th-235U)O2 thorium-b...
