In order to make effective utilization of spent fuel from LWRs, it is needed to optimize reactor thermal power and core size, the TRU concentration of feeding fuel, and its feeding rate. For this reason, assuming a core size, the dependency of TRU transmutation capability and delayed neutron fraction on reactor core parameters was investigated.
