A computational benchmark, using the deterministic codes WIMS-AECL and WOBI, and the stochastic code SERPENT, is made for burnup calculations of advanced thorium fuels in heavy water moderated reactors. Exit burnups and the concentration of the longe

Natural thorium contains impurities of numerous isotopes. A study was performed to examine the influence of naturally occurring impurities in thorium-based fuels on a few parameters of interest such as: exit burnup, coolant void reactivity (CVR), fue

An incremental approach to introducing thorium to the conventional pressure-tube heavy-water reactor natural uranium fuel cycle is investigated. The approach involves the replacement of the centre fuel element of the bundle with an element of thorium

An economic analysis is presented of a proposed synergy between two nuclear utilities, Utility L that owns light water reactors (LWR) and Utility H that owns heavy water moderated reactors (HWR). Americium is partitioned from LWR spent fuel produced

The neutron economy and online refueling capability of heavy water moderated reactors enable them to use many different fuel types, such as low enriched uranium, plutonium mixed with uranium, or plutonium and/or U mixed with thorium, in addition to t
