This paper presented a review on the past, present and the future of thorium fuel cycle. The
aim of this study is to evaluate the developments in thorium fuel cycle, looking at the …

This research discusses the neutronic characteristics of VVER-1200 assembly fueled with
five different fuel types based on thorium. These types of fuel based on mixing thorium as a …

In an effort to de-carbonise commercial freight ship**, there is growing interest in the
possibility of using nuclear propulsion systems. In this reactor physics study, we seek to …

There is an urgent need to find compact burnable BA materials as an alternative to the
traditional materials (B4C and Ag–In–Cd). These materials must possess higher density …

Civil marine reactors face a unique set of design challenges. These include requirements for
a small core size and long core lifetime, a 20% cap on fissile loading, and limitations on …

The pursuit for an optimum burnable absorbers (BAs) takes a great interest due to their
importance for regulating and control the reactivity of the reactor. MCNPX code is used to …

The advantages of once-through molten salt reactors include readily available fuel, low
nuclear proliferation risk, and low technical difficulty. It is potentially the most easily …

This paper aims to reach the most optimizing design of the VVER-1200 assembly to achieve
a significant consumption of weapons-grade plutonium (wgPu) vector. Different assembly …

To provide a reliable and comprehensive data reference for core geometry design of
graphite-moderated and low-enriched uranium fueled molten salt reactors, the influences of …

Stemming from a renewed interest in the suitability of thorium as fertile isotope, this study
presents an extensive survey of some of the recent advances on the use of thorium in light …
