The BN-800 fast reactor is the only fast neutron reactor in the world generating electricity for a national grid on a sizable ...
which led to increased R&D in so-called fast reactors, which in the fast-breeder reactor (FBR) configuration can use uranium fuel significantly more efficiently by using fast neutrons to change ...
Argonne National Laboratory is developing Gen-IV nuclear reactors, including sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs).
In the world of nuclear energy, the fast-breeder reactor is considered the power source of the future. Not only do breeders have longer lasting fuel elements than standard, water-moderated ...

India’s indigenous nuclear reactor prototype and abundant thorium reserves hold the key to the country’s future energy security.
All U.S. nuclear reactors, which currently provide more than half of the nation's carbon-free power, are first- or ...
MHI has experienced setbacks in developing a fast reactor. The “Monju” prototype fast-breeder reactor, the preliminary stage of a demonstration reactor, encountered a spate of problems ...
Shrouded in mystery, the island is silently witnessing the construction of advanced ‘fast-breeder’ nuclear reactors. Recent media reports highlight growing skepticism toward the Chinese ...
Fast breeder reactors "breed" more fissile material than the fuel they consume. The Department of Atomic Energy also announced a significant discovery of new deposits in India's oldest Uranium ...
Development of the Experimental Breeder Reactor-I, as the reactor that powered ... that “from the nuclear point of view … there is much attraction toward a fast neutron reactor for breeding.” ...
TerraPower’s reactor will use liquid sodium as a cooling agent such as the Monju prototype fast-breeder reactor, which Japan decided to decommission after a series of accidents. Japan can ...
