How would a super-critical heavy water cooled and moderated two fluid aqueous homogeneous reactor with nitrate fuel work? Silicon carbide or alumina can be used as cladding for the internal seed core and blanket walls, with the silicon carbide on the blanket wall cladding stainless steel and...

Not really, just wanted some broad information. But I have all that I need now.

I have done some reading on the utilization of Thorium in fast reactors, but the doubling time for breeding ranges from 20 to 80 years, is there any solid material on the subject? Just curious.

Gas, gas is non-corrosive and has a no void coefficient. A gas cooled fast reactor can have a power density of 200 MW/M3 , however due to the low thermal inertia of gas, meltdown could occur rapidly if a primary loop is lost.
