Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR II), prototype to the US Integral Fast Reactor. Unfortunately, fast reactors have the disadvantages of being more expensive than LWRs and the challenges of ...

His homemade breeder reactor emitted dangerously high levels of radiation, raising global questions about safety, legality, and the boundaries of DIY science. Was this the work of a prodigious ...

which led to increased R&D in so-called fast reactors, which in the fast-breeder reactor (FBR) configuration can use uranium fuel significantly more efficiently by using fast neutrons to change ...

Tests carried out on high burnup fast reactor fuel as part of a collaboration between the USA and Japan are the first of ...

It will help turn used material recovered from DOE’s former Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II reactor) into usable fuel ...

The Breeder Reactor The realization of cheap atomic power hinges on our ability to build reactors that make more fissionable material than they burn. Some details of our first attempts to build one ...

For 75 years, high-flux thermal irradiation testing has driven U.S. nuclear innovation, supporting reactor development and ...

US-based nuclear power and nuclear fuel recycling company Oklo is participating in the US Department of Energy Voucher ...

India’s indigenous nuclear reactor prototype and abundant thorium reserves hold the key to the country’s future energy security.

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...

Five fast reactors are now in operation: two operating reactors (BN-600 and BN-800) and one test reactor (BOR-60) in Russia, India’s Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) and the China Experimental Fast ...
