Fast Breeder Reactors, a comparison between the LMFBR and the GCFR
Description
The Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR) has become the favorite in fast breeder reactor design. There are other types of FBRs which should be further developed in order to assure the existence of a commercial breeder in the near future in the event of unforeseen problems with the LMFBR. The LMFBR's next of kin is the Gas Cooled Fast Breeder Reactor (GCFR). This paper will examine both of these designs on a comparison-contrast basis in order to understand the advantages and disadvantages of these two advanced reactor designs
