Description

This technical report is concerned with a theoretical investigation of the variation of the regeneration factor [gamma] in a Th232 - U235 thermal reactor. The abundances of the significant isotopes in the thorium-uranium cycle have been derived as a function of irradiation time at constant reactor power. The change in [gamma] as a function of irradiation time at constant power was calculated for combinations of enrichment and resonance escape probability considered likely to exist in a thermal reactor. The effect upon [gamma] of the the absorption cross section of 91Pa233 and of the fission products has been shown.
