High conversion Th-U233 fuel for current generation of PWRs: Part II - 3D full core analysis

Part II of the two-part paper reports on the steady-state whole core analysis of 100% Th-U233 fueled PWR. The results of this study demonstrate the feasibility in principle of achieving conversion ratio close to unity for a Th-U233 PWR core operating at power density of 60 W/cc, in three-batch annual fuel cycle and without exceeding the main safety limits.
