METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING PERFORMANCE OF A FAST REACTOR
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4135543
A fertile-fissionable material arrangement is given for fast-breeder reactors in which the fissionable material forms a hollow core and the fertile material forms two blankets surrounding the core from both outside and inside. The advantages of such an arrangement are that all the neutrons are utilized, the neutron flux at the center is flattened out giving better performance, and the operating temperatures in the center are lowered. The fissionable material is a plutonium-uranium alloy, and the fertile material is depleted uranium. Details are given on the reactor and its operation. (D.L.C.)
