Minor actinide burning in a CANDU thorium reactor
Kerntechnik, 2006 Abstract Nuclear waste actinides can be used as a booster fissile fuel material in form of mixed fuel with thorium in a CANDU reactor in order to assure the initial criticality at startup. Two different fuel compositions have been found useful to provide sufficient reactor criticality over a long operation period: 1) 95% thoria (ThO2)+5%
