Description

This lecture delves into the concept of breeding and Liquid Fast Reactors (LFR), focusing on reactivity control in LiPoTor reactors and the importance of transmutation. The instructor discusses the challenges of achieving a closed fuel cycle, the role of fast reactors in waste management, and the benefits of transmuting minor actinides. The lecture explores the physics behind reactivity control, the impact of neutron capture and fission, and the potential of fast reactors in burning minor actinides. The goal is to understand how advanced reactor designs can help address nuclear waste issues and optimize fuel utilization over time.
