Conversion performance of thorium-fueled CANDU and PWR reactors has been studied to evaluate their potential use as the third and last tier of symbiotic scenarios. For instance, plutonium extracted from the spent fuel of UOX PWRs could be used in Th/Pu CANDUs to produce uranium (mainly 233U), which could finally feed a high conversion water-cooled third reactor fleet component. This option could help to replace likely delayed Generation IV in the case of a strong increase of uranium-based energy production. In order to assess the competitiveness of such scenarios, detailed cycle data have been obtained by means of a core-equivalent simulation methodology developed for CANDU-6 and adapted to N4-type PWR. Breeding in Th/233U CANDU is achieved...
