Fast breeder reactor is a nuclear reactor in which the fission chain reaction is sustained by fast neutrons. This process needs highly enriched fuel and produces large amounts of heat. The core containing enriched fuel is surrounded by a blanket of fissionable material which is bombarded by the fast neutrons and transformed into fissile fuel. This process also allows to burn transuranic isotopes which would normally take thousands of years to decay. This reactor does not use solid fuel rods, instead, its fuel is dissolved in molten salt. It runs under higher operating temperatures to produce super pressurized steam (800 °C). If the core is overheated and no emergency cooling is available, the reactor will automatically shut off by draining its molten fuel out of the reactor, all fuel will be lost, and the reactor will be damaged. This plant can be set up to effectively provide up to {0} MW of electricity when running on full power.
Reactor reproductor rápido que utiliza combustible altamente enriquecido para producir calor mediante neutrones rápidos. El núcleo (que contiene el combustible enriquecido) está rodeado de un manto de material fisionable que es bombardeado por neutrones rápidos y transformado en combustible fisible. Este proceso también permite quemar isótopos transuarnicos que normalmente tardarían miles de años en desintegrarse. Este reactor no utiliza barras de combustible sólido, sino que su combustible está disuelto en sal fundida. Funciona a temperaturas más elevadas para producir vapor superpresurizado (800 °C). Si se sobrecalienta (sin refrigeración disponible), el reactor se apagará, pero todo su combustible se perderá y el reactor resultará dañado. Esta central puede configurarse para proporcionar efectivamente hasta {0} MW de electricidad cuando funciona a plena potencia.
