The compound system doubling time of the Clinch River Breeder Reactor has been evaluated for a broad range of breeding ratios and fuel cycle parameters. Reprocessing plant fissile inventory and fissile losses due to incomplete fuel recovery are shown to have a strong influence on the doubling time when the breeding ratio is low. If the breeding ratio is above 1.2, fissile losses are much less significant and acceptable doubling times are achieved. (auth)
