Evaluation of the neutronic performance of a fast traveling wave reactor in the Th-U fuel cycle

The possibility for all of the uranium or thorium fuel to be used nearly in full is expected in traveling wave reactors. A traveling wave reactor core with a fast neutron spectrum in a thorium-uranium cycle has been numerically simulated. The reactor core is shaped as a rectangular p...
