Abstract
The objective of this research is to, based on the original design for the Pebble Bed Advanced High Temperature Reactor (PB-AHTR), develop an MCNPX model of the reactor core with the objective to attain criticality and to breed new fuel. A brief but complete description of a first approach to the PB-AHTR will be provided and a MCNPX model will be run in order to ascertain the difficulties of that configuration. On the second part, a modification of the original model will be evaluated and compared in order to resolve the difficulties encountered in the original design. Finally, in an effort to optimize the design, an evolutionary approach will be analyzed, based on the previous model, and conclusions will be attained
