Description

This paper describes a design to utilize potential thorium fuel cycle for the CANDU-6 reactor. The design consists of three additional clusters of channels placed vertically into the calandria and spanning the diameter of the circular face. The clusters will be placed along the axial plane: one at the centre; and the remainder spaced towards both ends of the reactor. The cluster that passes through the centre of the calandria will be filled with a thorium solution and will be the breeder. The other clusters on both sides of the calandria vessel will contain the bred uranium nitrate solution. (author)
