NUCLEAR FAST BREEDER REACTOR
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4049133
Three types of fast breeder reactors are described. The reactor cores are supported inside a container so as to be spaced from the walls. Molten fuel including plutonium is arranged inside spaces bounded by the walls of suitable parallel tubes, which are in contact at their ends through headers inside the core. The amount of plutonium within the core is sufficient for critical reactivity. The tubes form a heat exchanger transferring the heat to molten sodium flowing through the core. Suitably the reactors have breeding blankets of natural uranium. Control of the reactivity may be effected by variation of the amount of molten fuel within the reactors. (NPO)
