THE importance of the ‘magic’ neutron numbers 50 and 82 has been ... at moderate excitation of the nucleus, the excitation energy being shared by the nucleons not contained in the closed ...

Fast neutron reactors can also fission other fissile elements, covering the full spectrum ... of uranium fuel. In addition to these reactor designs, Natrium also adds an on-site energy storage ...

The fast neutron spectrum allows fast reactors to largely increase the energy yield from natural uranium as compared to thermal reactors. This high utilization of fuel can extend nuclear power ...

Fast neutron reactors ... help ensure a sustainable energy future. Fast reactors use neutrons that are not slowed down by a moderator, such as water, to sustain the fission chain reaction. While only ...
