This paper reports the results of a comparison of Thorium based fuels in pressurised water reactors with Uranium based mixed oxide fuels up to burn-ups of 100 GWd/t_H_M. First, consumption ratios for Plutonium and Transuranium elements are compared. It turned out that the application of Thorium based fuel doubles the consumption ratio of Plutonium in comparison to Uranium mixed oxide fuel. This also becomes evident evaluating the mass balances with respect to the generated nuclear energy. Also in this case the Thorium based fuel demonstrates its superior performance; it generates more than 90% of the energy due to Plutonium fissioning, thus performing approximately 40% better than Uranium based mixed oxide fuel. But the large amounts of Tra...
