title = "High conversion TH-U fuel cycle for current generation of PWRS",
abstract = "This paper summarizes the results of a feasibility study on high conversion (HC) Th-U233 fuel cycle for current generation of PWRs. The paper covers a number of aspects associated with the use of HC Th-U fuel in PWRs including: 1) description of a proposed HC seed-blanket Th-U233 fuel assembly design; 2) discussion on a feasible way of generating U233; 3) evaluation of neutronic characteristics and conversion performance of the HC Th-U fuel by accounting for the evolution of U isotopic composition with the number of recycle stages; 4) assessment of HC Th-U PWR core performance is through 3D full core coupled neutronic and T-H analysis; 5) estimation of potential savings in available resources that can be achieved by using HC Th-U fuel cycle as compared to the current fuel cycle practices are evaluated.",
