International Fast For Life (IFFL) was a prolonged fast in favor of nuclear disarmament that spawned the Fast For Life movement. The context of this event took place during an era of escalation of the U.S./Russian Cold War. Its purpose was to promote a redirection of international government efforts away from nuclear arms and toward feeding the ...
The BN-350 was a sodium-cooled, [1]: 3 fast reactor located at the Mangyshlak Nuclear Power Plant (or Mangyshlak Atomic Energy Combine), located in Aktau (formerly known as Shevchenko), Kazakhstan, on the shore of the Caspian Sea.
Nuclear technology – involves the reactions of atomic nuclei. Among the notable nuclear technologies are nuclear power, nuclear medicine, and nuclear weapons. It has found applications from smoke detectors to nuclear reactors, and from gun sights to nuclear weapons.
The BREST reactor is a Russian conceptual design for a lead-cooled fast reactor based on a generation IV reactor.Two designs are planned, the BREST-300 (300 MWe) and the BREST-1200 (1200 MWe).
'chamomile') was a Soviet experimental nuclear reactor. It began operation in 1964, and was developed by the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy. The reactor used direct thermoelectric conversion to create electricity, rather than heating water to drive a turbine. [1] It is thus similar to a radioisotope thermoelectric generator, but higher power.

Gas-cooled fast reactor scheme. The gas-cooled fast reactor (GFR) system is a nuclear reactor design which is currently in development.Classed as a Generation IV reactor, it features a fast-neutron spectrum and closed fuel cycle for efficient conversion of fertile uranium and management of actinides.
The integral fast reactor (IFR), originally the advanced liquid-metal reactor (ALMR), is a design for a nuclear reactor using fast neutrons and no neutron moderator (a "fast" reactor). IFRs can breed more fuel and are distinguished by a nuclear fuel cycle that uses reprocessing via electrorefining at the reactor site.
