[3F09] Study on Reduction of plutonium by Using Thorium fuel

*Mikihiko Muta1, Satosi Takeda1, Takanori Kitada1 (1. Nuclear Social Engineering of Graduate Schook of Engineering Osaka University)

Keywords:Advanced Boiling Water Reactor, Thorium, reduction of plutonium

Large amounts of plutonium are held by countries where there are nuclear power plants. By using CASMO4E-SIMULATE3 and designing a core loading Th+Pu MOX fuels, it is found that the effctive reduction of plutonium is achieved.
