Nuclear Reactors 62 - Nuclear Breeder Reactors 3 - Fast Breeder Reactors

           Recently, I have been focusing on nuclear breeder reactors which can generate more fissile material than they burn. These reactors can create weapons grade plutonium, generate electrical power and burn nuclear waste. Today I am going to talk about fast breeder reactors (FBR). These reactors utilize unmoderated neutrons which have not been slowed down by some moderator.
