Popis:	Thorium as fissile material has overweigh advantages compared to Uranium in order to have a long-life PWR reactor without replacement fuel. Additional of Protactinium as a burnable poison is effective to reduce excess reactivity in the beginning of the reactor operation. This study aims to analyze the neutronic, burnup fuel, thermal-hydraulic and kinetic calculations in regard to reactor safety. The calculation is performed with SRAC program using JENDL-32 as data library. The results show that the value of keff for 33 years are still in the range 1.0154
