Fuel design considerations for the Mirror Hybrid Reactor

Description

Fuel design considerations for a conceptual design of a commercial mirror hybrid reactor, optimized for breeding 239Pu, are briefly discussed. 238U3Si fuel and lithium hydride breeding material are proposed, along with helium gas cooling. Selection of materials for the blanket follows conventional fission reactor practice. A table of reactor parameters is presented. The Mirror Hybrid Reactor offers potential economical production of fissile material
