Write down the performance requirements of nuclear fuel for use in fission reactors. Hence, describe why UF6, UO3 and metal fuels are not suitable for use in modern reactor systems. In this context, what advantage might accident-tolerant fuels bring to the performance of these reactor systems; why is thorium potentially of interest in this regard?
