The status of a program to develop a thermal breeder power reactor which is based on the Th-U/sup 233/ cycle is discussed. The general characteristics of two-region power breeder reactors which are either solution-core slurryblanket or slurry-core slurry-blanket are described. A review of studies on corrosion, physical properties, and metallurgy of fuel materials, in particular aqueous ThO/ sub 2/ suspensions, is presented. Development studies on cladding alloys are discussed. The processing of fuel and blanket materials for removal of fission and corrosion products and recovery of fissionable material is discussed. A flowsheet for the preparation of ThO/sub 2/ slurries is contained. Development studies on reactor components, systems, instrumentation, and control are reviewed. Reactor-control, safety, and criticality studies are discusspd. (C.J.G.
