1. Nuclear Reactors

   Linked via "sodium-cooled fast reactors"

   Fast reactors utilize high-energy, unmoderated neutrons. Because fast neutrons are less likely to cause fission in U-235, these reactors require a higher concentration of fissile material (enrichment $\geq 20\%$). Their primary advantage lies in their ability to utilize the blanket of non-fissile Uranium-238 to breed more fuel through neutron capture followed by beta decay, producing [Pl…
