摘要：
A computer model was developed to perform neutronic and burn-up analysis for an assembly of a thorium reactor The MCNP computer code was used to model the geometry of the assembly and to determine both, the power and flux distribution. A system of ordinary differential equations which represents all fuel isotopes was solved numerically to evaluate the time behavior of fuel composition and burn-up. The results of the present model were compared with the solutions of benchmark problems and satisfactory agreement was found.
