Effect of 238U replacement with 232Th in small modular reactor fuel matrix was studied. Four different 235U enrichment levels (10, 13.8, 16.5 and 19.8 wt%) were used in a pairwise manner for UO2 and (ThO2 + 235U) fuels. The calculation was performed using Monte Carlo N-particle code integrated with...
