Abstract
The problem of conservation of fuel resources resulting in a need for reactor systems with more economical fuel cycles, is discussed. Breeders and advanced converters are first considered. An examination is then made of symbiotic arrangements to form a self-sufficient power-producing complex. An illustration is given of a gas breeder-HTGR combination. The ratio of HTGR to breeder thermal power is calculated for a self-sufficient combination without provision of industry expansion, and also when allowing for industry expansion. It is shown that fuel resources can be extended and become most rapidly useful by proper portions of LWRs, fast breeders, and HTGRs.
