The fuel value of U/sup 233/ was calculated for five thermal reactors (Dresden. Yankee, Carolinas-Vlrginia, Hallam, GCR-II). Relative to a U/sup 235/ value of per gram, pure U/sup 233/ had a value that varied from .2 to .2 per gram. U/sup 233/ contained in once- and twice-recycle uranium from an initial U/sup 233/-Th cycle had a value slightly in excess of the value of pure U/ sup 233.. The value of U/sup 233/ in recycle uranium from an initial U/sup 235/- Th cycle was less than that for pure U/sup 233/ and decreased with each succeeding cycle. (auth)
