This study investigated the combined effect of boron in light water moderator and gadolinia in fuel on the neutronic properties of (U, Th)O-2 fuel in Westinghouse small modular reactor. The reactivity control of boron and gadolinia, and the potential of gadolinia in increasing thermal conductivity o...
