Burnup analysis and investigation of a continuous refueling method for a small chloride molten salt fast reactor were conducted. The latest nuclear data library ENDF/B-VIII.0 and the continuous energy Monte Carlo code SERPENT-2 were used for burnup analysis. The TRU transmutation ratio of 56% was achieved after 10 years operation, and it has been found that this reactor core is effective in the reduction of TRU.
