With help from the fast reactor, spent fuel from the thermal reactors will be reprocessed and reused, with a final waste footprint up to ten times smaller than that of regular nuclear fuel. India is ...
Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR II), prototype to the ... of using all of today’s spent fuel (often referred to as ‘nuclear waste’) as fuel. Combined with pyropocessing, this would ...
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 ...
Despite this demand and the advances made in the safety and design of fission reactors, the issue of waste ... the nuclear industry to remain focused on LWR technology rather than the breeder.
In the latest event, India has announced a significant milestone in nuclear technology. Its Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) is expected to be operational by the end of 2025.
