Assembly of the core of Experimental Breeder Reactor I in Idaho, United States, 1951. A breeder reactor is a nuclear reactor that generates more fissile material than it consumes. [ 1 ] These reactors can be fueled with more-commonly available isotopes of uranium and thorium, such as uranium-238 and thorium-232, as opposed to the rare uranium ...
Integral fast reactor. 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.
