Thorium is investigated as a potential alternative nuclear fuel to Uranium . The purpose this study is to investigate the feasibity of using a homogeneous mixture of thorium and Uranium dioxide fueled pressurized water reactor instead of UO₂ PWR . This study focuses on the steady state and dynamic thermal analysis by utilizing mathematical modeling and the development of a software capable of investigating and analyzing the thermophysical operties high burnup performance dynamic analysis and thermalhydraulic analysis of thorium fueled PWRs
