[3K12] Evaluation of the impact of TRU composition on the core characteristics of fast reactors during the transition period

Keywords:Nuclear fuel cycle, Fast reactor, Core characteristic

We quantitatively evaluated the effect of the variation of TRU composition due to the difference of the LWR assumption on the core characteristics of the transitional fast reactor, distinguishing the case of LWRs loaded with UO2 and MOX fuels.
