The energy deposition on the ISIS muon target and the temperature profiles are analysed in this paper. The thermal modelling is performed using the GEANT4 Monte Carlo code. Heat deposition patterns are also simulated for alternative target geometries. Energy deposition in the collimators is also discussed.

Thorium “fuel” has been proposed as an alternative to uranium fuel in nuclear reactors. New GEANT4 developments allow the Monte Carlo code to be used for the first time in order to simulate the time evolution of the concentration of isotopes present in the Thorium fuel cycle. A full study is performed in order to optimise the production of Uranium-233 starting with "pure" Thorium fuels, leading to levels of Uranium-233 which ensure the operation of the nuclear reactor in a regime close to criticality.
