Abstract:Since thorium (Th) owns high conversion ratio in thermal neutron spectrum, high melting temperature, high thermal conductivity and good corrosion resistance in high-temperature water, it can be doped into UO<sub>2</sub> based fuel to initiate the fission reaction, and improve the physical properties of UO<sub>2</sub>. Owing to the challenging experimental conditions and technologies, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are conducted to investigate the influences of Th doping on the mech… Show more
