Abstract

The U-233 Conversion Ratio (CR) calculation results for Yalina Thermal assembly are presented as a function of burnup, power density, irradiation history and U-233 concentration. The Yalina Thermal assembly is an ADS which makes configuration changes possible. These various configurations enable investigation and comparison of CR in a Thorium cycle (Th cycle) and a mixed Uranium–Thorium cycle (U–Th cycle) of burning.The power density has no influence on the U-233 concentration dependence of CR and on the burnup dependence of CR. The calculations were done with a MCNPX code.
