Fuel Trajectory Analysis of Advanced Nuclear Energy Fuel Cycles and Systems

<p> The unique features of the Interrupted Thorium Cycle owing to
Pa-233 have been examined including possible implications for practical
implementation of the cycle. Generalized trajectories for the fuel
inventories of fusion-fission symbionts are derived through a comprehensive
parametric analysis. The resultant formulations are then applied
to a specific example. It is concluded that this formulation and analysis
leads to more exact fissile and fusile fuel characterizations than
suggested by conventional procedures. </p> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)
