[1F17] Study on Impact of Loading Thorium Fuel on PWR Core-characteristics

*Kazumasa Kobayashi1, Satoshi Takeda1, Takanori Kitada1, Cheuk Wah Lau2 (1. Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University, 2. Thor Energy)

Keywords:Thorium fuel, Core-characteristics

Detailed evaluation of the impact of loading Thorium fuel on PWR core-characteristics such as axial offset was performed. The impact of loading Thorium fuel on PWR core-characteristics was investigated based on in-core neutronic behavior such as spectral interference.
