The once through cycle (OTC) and the all heavy metals (HMs) confining scenarios were evaluated. In this study, we have utilised the time independent fuel burnup scheme, that we called equilibrium burnup. OTC case with JEF 2.2 results in the higher required U-233 concentration for criticality compared to that of JENDL 3.2. In contrast, the required U-233 concentration for criticality becomes smaller for the all HMs confining case with JEF 2.2 compared to that of JENDL 3.2. Conversion ratio increases with the boosting of void fraction for both scenarios of the two nuclear data libraries. JENDL 3.2 gives the harder neutron spectra compared to that of JEF 2.2 for both scenarios.
