Description

India's nuclear power programme is expected to use our vast deposits of thorium in its third and final phase. Zircaloy clad thoria in combination with 233UO2 and PuO2 will be the fuel, in an advanced heavy water reactor being setup at BARC which will be a forerunner for the transfer to thorium based systems. This paper describes the preliminary studies carried out on the dissolution characteristics of sintered thoria-4% PuO2 pellet with 94% TD, which is one of the typical fuel configurations. (author)
