This study offers a neutronisc core calculation to assess the potential of the compact microheterogeneous thorium-uranium TRistructural ISOtropic (TRISO) fuel design for the micro-modular high temperature reactor. The Duplex-fueled core and the Seed-and-Blanket-Unit (SBU)-fueled core were modelled a...
