Abstract
The Single-fluid Double-zone Thorium Molten Salt reactor (SD-TMSR) has a promising future. Inherent safety, liquid fuel, and possibility of online reprocessing and refueling are unique potentials of the SD-TMSR. In the present study, the Monte Carlo code Serpent2 has been chosen to model the full core of the SD-TMSR. In addition, online reprocessing and refueling has been modeled based on subroutine provided by Serpent2. During the burnup time (10 years), the total mass of the fuel inside the core has been checked and found to be almost constant. Furthermore, we controlled the reactivity by adjusting the feed rate of fissile and/or fertile materials. The change of Keff, breeding ratio, Th and U-233 refill rates with burn-up time have been investigated. Additionally, the build-up of U-233 during 10 years has been calculated.
