Breeding gains of sodium-cooled oxide-fueled fast reactors
Conference
·
OSTI ID:4952719
Calculated values are presented for the breeding gains of French fast reactors, and the experimental uncertainties are discussed. The effect of various choices of planning on the breeding gains is next analyzed within the framework of classical concepts. In the final part, a new concept involving heterogeneous cores with a single enrichment zone is presented. This concept permits a significant improvement in the breeding gain and doubling time of fast reactors.
