Symbiotic water breeder reactor system
Description
This paper proposes a water breeder system in which two reactors operate in symbiosis, one using /sup 23;/8U-/sup 233/U as fuel and producing plutonium, and the other using /sup 232/Th-Pu as fuel and producing /sup 233/U. Thus, each reactor feeds the other. From the breeding point of view, the combined system has an advantage over the separate /sup 238/U-Pu and /sup 233/Th-/sup 233/U cycles. 19 refs
