Description

This paper deals with the possible role of liquid metal fast breeder reactors (LMFBR) in the Italian electric power system, in an optimized utilisation strategy of natural nuclear fuel resources. The effects on fast breeder reactor penetration of possible alternative policies of light-water and heavy-water nuclear plants installation are studied. Core design and fuel cycle parameters, limiting LMFBR maximum penetration in supplying a large portion of primary energy needs of the country, are also discussed
