Fast neutron reactors are typically fuelled using a mixture of oxides of uranium and plutonium, and can vastly increase the efficiency of the nuclear fuel cycle by using the uranium - 238 recovered from recycling nuclear fuel after use in conventional nuclear power reactors.

This seminar examined the impacts of the beginning of the nuclear fuel cycle — uranium mining.

France and Japan, on the other hand, routinely extract and reprocess plutonium for reuse as reactor fuel, but the dual - use potential of this process has led Holdren and his coauthors to recommend a «once - through fuel cycle» in which the spent fuel is not reprocessed, but instead goes directly into a storage repository.
