FUEL CYCLE COSTS IN A GRAPHITE MODERATED U$sup 235$-Th FUELED FUSED SALT REACTOR
A fuel-cycle economic study was made for a 315-Mw(e) graphite-moderated U/sup 235/-Th-fueled fused-salt reactor. Fuel cycle costs of approximately 1.3 mills/kwh may be possible for such reactors when reprocessed for U/sup 233/ and U/ sup 235/ recover y at the end of a 9-year cycle. Continuous removal of fission products during the reactor cycle does not appear to offer any great economic advantage for the converter reactor considered. (auth)
