The first breeder reactor, went online almost 75 years ago. But today, only two remain active across the globe. Our question ...

India has approved 10 new nuclear reactors, targeting 22.5 GWe capacity by 2032 and 100 GWe by 2047, with support for PHWRs, ...

For example, excess U-238 can be placed in a breeder reactor, which produces more nuclear fuel than it consumes. In the reactor, it's transformed into a fissile material such as plutonium, which ...

Ocean-Power and Copenhagen Atomics are joining forces to study thorium-based molten salt reactor deployment for clean energy in Norway.

The other key word here, "breeder," is even more important. Without going into too much detail, suffice to say that when a breeder reactor uses fuel, it actually produces enough neutrons to "breed ...

The so-called “waste-eating” reactors are simply… breeder reactors like Superphénix, a type of reactor that the global nuclear industry has failed to get up and running for 70 years.

Satellite images from Dec 2022 show Rosatom, Russia’s state-owned atomic energy corporation, shipped an initial load of fuel that is necessary for the operation of China’s fast breeder ...

Recycling Slightly Used Nuclear Fuel (SUNF) in a Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR) provides all these remedies in a way that is competitive and publicly acceptable. The advantages to recycling used nuclear ...

Fuel supply is only one of the obstacles that stand in the way of atomic power at competitive prices. But the breeder eliminates any possibility that the world’s supply of fissionable material ...

The fast-breeder reactor, called Monju, is designed to produce more nuclear fuel than it consumes and the 900 billion yen ($9.67 billion) project is a cornerstone of resource-poor Japan's plan to ...
