Nuclear Weapons 46 - Saudi Arabia and Nuclear Weapons

           I have been blogging about fast breeder reactors recently. One of the major concerns about fast breeder reactors is the fact that plutonium is recovered from their fuel and can be purified to make nuclear weapons. Over the decades of research and development, this has been a constant concern. Various international cooperative agreements to develop this technology usual include some way of dealing with the dangers of nuclear weapons proliferation.

Nuclear Reactors 83 - Nuclear Breeder Reactors 24 - Review of breeder reactor history and status

          My recent posts have been about breeder reactors which generate more fissile material than they consume. There is renewed global interest in breeder reactors for the production of nuclear fuel and the destruction of nuclear waste. Today's post is going to be a summary of the history and current status of breeder reactors.

Nuclear Reactors 82 - Nuclear Breeder Reactors 23 - International Framework for Nuclear Energy Cooperation

          My recent posts have been about breeder reactors which generate more fissile material than they consume. There is renewed global interest in breeder reactors for the production of nuclear fuel and the destruction of nuclear waste. Today's post is going to be about the renaming and refunding of an international cooperative initiative launched by the United States.
