    Is a Molten Uranium Fast Breeder Reactor Feasible?

    I agree with you. 233U produced from Thorium can run with high neutron yield on the thermal or fast neutron spectrum and can perform very good on a fast breeder reactor. The main reason for using Plutonium and Uranium is the spent fuel legacy from light and heavy water reactors. The second...

    Is a Molten Uranium Fast Breeder Reactor Feasible?

    A tungsten hyper speed coating can also be researched. The hyper speed W atoms literally fuse into the reactor metal alloy and may provide a flexible corrosion layer. I do not remember which company does this coating process.

    Is a Molten Uranium Fast Breeder Reactor Feasible?

    I try to access Astronuc reference with no success. I find two references related to this topic: 1-CONSTITUTION OF URANIUM AND THORIUM ALLOYS http://www.orau.org/ptp/PTP%20Library/library/Subject/Thorium/thorium6.pdf 2-Elemental Solubility Tendency for the Phases of Uranium by Classical...

    Can 7Li Replace Na in Fast Breeder Reactors?

    Thank you Astronuc for your answer. Even when the 7Li is more expensive I see a lot of advantages over sodium. For me the greatest advantage is that if a leak occurs on a nuclear-gas brayton turbine configuration, the compressed air can be bypassed from the heat exchanger to the...

    Can 7Li Replace Na in Fast Breeder Reactors?

    7Li can be used instead on Na on a fast breeder reactor?
