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

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.

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 ...

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

The commissioning of the 500 MWe Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) has run into delays due to "first of a kind technological issues", the government told Parliament on Thursday.     The core ...

India's Atomic Energy Regulatory Board has officially granted permission for the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor  at Kalpakkam to move to the next stage of the commissioning process, the First ...

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

However, they are also hoping to recycle fuel from now closed fast breeder reactors. In the earnings call management said At Oklo, we most directly build our lineage and legacy of the EBR-II plant ...

That means building and expanding controversial fast-breeder reactors, a technology largely abandoned in the West, to make use of reprocessed uranium fuel as well as the plutonium from the 20,000 ...

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 ...

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 ...
