1. 1. Improved PWR Core Characteristics with Thorium-containing Fuel

   Författare :Cheuk Wah Lau; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; load-following; PWR; Thorium; xenon poisoning; core calculations;

   Sammanfattning : Thorium is an element for possible use as nuclear fuel, because of the fertile property of Th-232, which could convert into U-233 after neutron capture and beta decays. However, thorium based fuels have not been successfully implemented, because of the high cost and the higher complexity compared with once-through uranium fuel. LÄS MER

3. 2. Investigation of the use of thorium in LWRs for improving reactor core performance

   Författare :Cheuk Wah Lau; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thorium; thermal margin; light water reactor;

   Sammanfattning : Thorium is a fertile material and most of the past research has focused on breeding thorium into fissile material to achieve a more sustainable use of nuclear power. However, the focus in this report is on using thorium to improve reactor core performance. LÄS MER
