摘要
A method is proposed for achieving optimal neutron kinetics and efficient isotope transmutation in the U-233-Th-232 oxide fuel of water-moderated reactors with variable water composition (D2O, H2O) that ensures breeding of the U-233 and U-235 isotopes. The method is comparatively simple to implement.
