Burnup analysis for HTR-10 reactor core loaded with uranium and thorium oxide

We used MCNP6 computer code to model HTR-10 core reactor. We used two types of fuel; UO2 and (Th+Pu)O2 mixture. We determined the critical height at which the reactor approached criticality in both two cases. The neutronic and burnup parameters were investigated. The results indicated that the core...
