Summary
Reactor physics and fuel cycle studies, coordinated with heat transfer and material science and structural analysis work has indicated the feasibility potential of the coupled Fast-Mixed Spectrum Reactor (FMSR) concept. This concept employs what are considered reasonable extrapolations of present fast breeder reactor technology to achieve a once-through-and-store reactor fuel cycle. Since the fuel cycle for this reactor is intended to use only natural or depleted uranium for its equilibrium feed, the resultant reactor would have excellent anti-proliferation characteristics. It would also extend utilization of natural uranium resources by a factor of about 15 relative to LWR reactors when on its equilibrium fuel cycle; startup requirements would of course reduce this factor.
