Study of an ADS Loaded with Thorium and Reprocessed Fuel by Graiciany de Paula Barros, Claubia Pereira, Maria A. F. Veloso, Antonella L. Costa

“…In the other fuel rods was used a mixture based upon Pu-MA, removed from PWR-spent fuel, reprocessed by GANEX, and finally spiked with thorium or depleted uranium. The use of reprocessed fuel ensured the use of T232hO2 without the initial requirement of U233 enrichment. …”
