Abstract
This parametric study has been made to determine the optimum moderator to fuel volume ratio, pin diameter and burnup of thorium fuel in PWRs. Under optimum conditions a substantial reduction in uranium requirements can be obtained without adversely affecting fuel cycle costs. The development of the thorium cycle in light water reactors forms an alternative to the LMFBR development.
