Some characteristics of a fast reactor with thorium shield

The regeneration factor of Pu²³⁹ in U²³³ was determined in the BR-1 experimentaI fast reactor with a Pu²³⁹ core and a Th²³² shield. The breeding characteristics of thorium, the utilization factor of fission neutrons (D) and the neutron multiplication factor (k) were also studied.Translated from Atomnaya Énergiya, Vol. 17, No. 4, pp. 294–299, October, 1964Deceased
