Simulation on reactor TRIGA Puspati core kinetics fueled with thorium (Th) based fuel element

In confronting global energy requirement and the search for better technologies, there is a real case for widening the range of potential variations in the design of nuclear power plants. Smaller and simpler reactors are attractive, provided they can meet safety and security standards and non-prolif...
