We directly compare homogeneous and heterogeneous Th–Pu fuel.
- class="label">•
Examine whether there is an increase in Pu incineration in the latter.
- class="label">•
Homogeneous fuel was able to achieve much higher Pu incineration.

In the heterogeneous case, U-233 breeding is faster (larger power fraction), thus decreasing incineration of Pu.
