NUCLEAR ANALYSIS OF A U-233 THERMAL BREEDER

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4326120
Work performed under contract with The Detroit Edison Co. and the Dow Chemical Co. A critical mass of 10 to 20 kg and a breeding ratio of about 1-0 have been calculated for a U/sup 233/-bismuth fueled and graphite moderated reactor- Breeding losses caused by a high U/sup 233/ alpha in the intermediate energy region are shown to be significant.
