Study on kinetic parameters of pebble bed reactor with TRISO duplex fuel
Thorium, in this case, 232Th has a higher thermal neutron capture cross-section than 238U, which means that more fertile isotopes can be transmuted and could lead to higher fissile isotope 233U.In addition, 233U has a good performance in the thermal spectrum.Theoretically, a nuclear reactor using thorium fuel can also last longer than one using ura
