6. 4. Thorium fuels for light water reactors - steps towards commercialization

   Author : Klara L Insulander Björk; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Halden research reactor; light water reactors; fuel performance; plutonium; Thorium; neutronic simulations;

   Abstract : Thorium-containing nuclear fuel is proposed as a means of gaining a number of benefits in the operation of light water reactors, some related to the nuclear properties of thorium and some related to the material properties of thorium dioxide. This thesis aims to investigate some of these benefits and to widen the knowledge base on thorium fuel behaviour, in order to pave the way for its commercial use. READ MORE
