Description
The aim of this work is to examine the multi-spectrum nuclear reactor concept as an alternative to fast reactors and accelerator-driven systems for breeding fissile material and reducing the radiotoxicity of spent nuclear fuel. The design characteristics of the CANDUTM nuclear power reactor are shown to provide a basis for a novel approach to this concept. (authors)
