The Monte Carlo Continuous Energy Burnup Code was used for numerical simulations of the pressurized water reactor (PWR) with mixed U-Th fuel. The thorium fuel was introduce to the core of the Westinghouse 4-loop PWR in order to investigate the time evolutions of fissile 233U, 235U, 239Pu, 241Pu and of fertile 232Th and 238U. The core loading pattern was designed using the Whole Assembly Seed and Blanket (WASB) approach. The following calculations show the feasibility of the proposed incore fuel management patter using the available numerical tools, developed numerical model and methods.
