  2. Fast Breeder Test Reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Breeder_Test_Reactor

    From 1989 to 1992, the reactor operated at 1 MW. In 1993, the reactor's power level was raised to 10.5 MW. In September 2002, fuel burn-up in the FBTR for the first time reached the 100,000 megawatt-days per metric ton uranium (MWd/MTU) mark. [citation needed] This is considered an important milestone in breeder reactor technology. On 7 March ...

    India has been trying to develop fast breeder reactors for decades but suffered repeated delays. [72] By December 2024 the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor is due to be completed and commissioned. [73] [74] [75] The program is intended to use fertile thorium-232 to breed fissile uranium-233. India is also pursuing thorium thermal breeder reactor ...

    The Fast Breeder Reactor-600 (FBR-600) or Indian Fast Breeder Reactor (IFBR) or Commercial Fast Breeder Reactor (CFBR) is a 600-MWe fast breeder nuclear reactor design presently being designed as part of India's three-stage nuclear power programme to commercialise the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor built at Kalpakkam.

  5. Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype_Fast_Breeder_Reactor

    The prototype fast breeder reactor has a negative void coefficient, thus ensuring a high level of passive nuclear safety. This means that when the reactor overheats (below the boiling point of sodium) the speed of the fission chain reaction decreases, lowering the power level and the temperature. [ 25 ]

    Jōyō is a test fast breeder reactor located in Ōarai, Ibaraki. The reactor was built in the 1970s for the purpose of experimental tests and the development of FBR technologies. The successor to Monju was expected to be a larger demonstration plant to be completed around 2025, built by the newly formed Mitsubishi FBR Systems company. [57]

    The Fast Flux Test Facility with labels Commemorative photo marking the completion of the FFTF system. The Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) is a 400 MW thermal, liquid sodium cooled, nuclear test reactor owned by the U.S. Department of Energy. It does not generate electricity.

  9. Experimental Breeder Reactor II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Experimental_Breeder_Reactor_II

    The Experimental Breeder Reactor II. Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II) was a sodium-cooled fast reactor designed, built and operated by Argonne National Laboratory at the National Reactor Testing Station in Idaho. It was shut down in 1994. Custody of the reactor was transferred to Idaho National Laboratory after its founding in 2005.
