A small power ADS design using thorium oxide and diluent matrix reprocessed fuel is
proposed for a high transmutation rate, small reactivity swing, and strong safety features …

Because of the high burnup achieved by thorium fuels, they are attractive for utilization in the
so-called advanced high temperature reactor (AHTR), which is a new reactor that merges …

Thorium is an attractive potential fuel owing to its abundance and unique thermal, neutronic,
and chemical properties. One way to utilize thorium in block‐type advanced high …

In order to verify the evaluated cross sections of 232 Th (n, 2n) reaction for the conceptual
design of the thorium based subcritical blanket in the fusion–fission hybrid reactor, an …

Thorium as a suitable fertile with higher natural resources in comparison with uranium
resources has been remarkably considered by different nuclear energy user countries in the …

This study presents the investigation of thorium utilization in an ADS with Lead-Bismuth
Eutectic (LBE) target. To effectively burn thorium, the ThO2 fuel rods cylindrically prepared …
