Abstract
In our previous studies we analysed the plutonium burning performance of various kinds of fuel, based on mixing plutonium oxide with thorium oxide (TOX), or with inert matrix (IMF), or with inert matrix plus a limited addition (doping) of thorium oxide (TD-IMF). The present paper includes the neutronic analysis of a metal-based fuel variant and of fissile material recycling in TOX fuels. If the recycled fuel is topped with weapons grade plutonium (WG-Pu) as fissile material, it is possible to sustain indefinitely a closed cycle.
