Nuclear reactor for breeding /sup 233/U

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7300605
; ; ;
A light-water-cooled nuclear reactor capable of breeding /sup 233/U for use in a light-water breeder reactor includes physically separated regions containing /sup 235/U fissile material and /sup 238/U fertile material and /sup 232/Th fertile material and /sup 239/Pu fissile material, if available. Preferably the /sup 235/U fissile material and /sup 238/U fertile material are contained in longitudinally movable seed regions and the /sup 239/Pu fissile material and /sup 232/Th fertile material are contained in blanket regions surrounding the seed regions. 1 claim, 5 figures.
