Abstract
This report corrects an error discovered in the code used in the study "Fuel Cycle Analysis in a Thorium Fueled Reactor Using Bidirectional Fuel Movement," MIT-2073-1, MITNE-51. The results of the correction show considerable improvement in the conversion ratio. Although more recent cross-section data make these corrected results somewhat optimistic, the indication is that breeding on the thorium cycle may be possible with the CANDU-type reactor design.
