Sentences with phrase «fast reactors need»

Not exact matches

The new study led by Satoshi Chiba at Tokyo Tech shows that effective transmutation of LLFPs can be achieved in fast spectrum reactors without the need for isotope separation.

High energy neutrons, needed for transmuting elements, are not only created in fast - breeder reactors.

The resource gains would be modest, whereas the long - term waste problem would remain, and the entire effort would delay for only a short time the need for efficient fast reactors.

Fast reactors with an elegant ability to «breed» more fissile materials than they consumed in fuel, seemed destined to play a major part in helping the world to solve its energy needs.

In reality, it's very difficult to keep the neutrons moving that quickly so fast reactors still need a bit of enriched uranium to operate, but U-238 is fissioned to much more of a degree than in thermal reactors.

We may still need faster supercomputers to simulate how we need to design these reactors to effectively control the plasma in these reactors.

To summarize, H.R. 4378 authorizes constructing a fast reactor without assessing the need or evaluating its costs and benefits.
