I've met two of the authors.

While it is a worthy book for those interested in Fast Reactor Technology, one must buy the book. We do not 'share' copywrited' material at PF.

Hi there! Thanks for sharing this information about the new edition of "Fast Breeder Reactors" by Reynolds. It's great to know that it's now available under the title "Fast Spectrum Reactors." I'm sure many people will be interested in downloading it from the link you provided. Hopefully, someone who has access to Springer accounts will be able to share it with us here or on library.nu. Thanks again!
 

1. What is a Fast Spectrum Reactor?

A Fast Spectrum Reactor is a type of nuclear reactor that uses fast neutrons to sustain a chain reaction. These reactors operate at high temperatures and have the ability to utilize a wider range of nuclear fuels compared to traditional reactors.

2. What are the advantages of Fast Spectrum Reactors?

Fast Spectrum Reactors have several advantages, including higher efficiency, lower production of nuclear waste, and the ability to use depleted uranium as fuel. They also have the potential to be used as a source of nuclear energy for longer periods of time compared to traditional reactors.

3. How do Fast Spectrum Reactors differ from other types of nuclear reactors?

Unlike traditional reactors, Fast Spectrum Reactors use fast neutrons instead of thermal neutrons. This allows for a more efficient use of nuclear fuel and a higher energy output. Additionally, Fast Spectrum Reactors have a closed fuel cycle, meaning that they can recycle and reuse nuclear fuel, reducing the amount of waste produced.

4. What are the safety concerns associated with Fast Spectrum Reactors?

Fast Spectrum Reactors have advanced safety features, including passive cooling systems and the capability to shut down automatically in the event of an emergency. However, like all nuclear reactors, there is a risk of accidents and potential nuclear contamination. Proper safety protocols and regulations are in place to mitigate these risks.

5. What is the current status of Fast Spectrum Reactor technology?

Fast Spectrum Reactors are still in the research and development phase, with a few experimental reactors in operation around the world. While there are several proposed designs, there are currently no commercial Fast Spectrum Reactors in operation. However, there is ongoing research and testing to further develop this technology for potential future use in nuclear energy production.
