Fast-breeder technology is almost as old as nuclear power.
Japan has pursued fast-breeder technology, through which a reactor can produce more plutonium than it burns in hopes of cutting or eliminating imports of nuclear fuel.
In the thermal breeder, whose technology is much simpler than that of the liquid-metal fast breeder, ordinary water is employed as a coolant to remove the heat produced by the continuous series of fission reactions.
However, considering that light water reactors have become common, the recent outlook for the supply and demand for uranium resources, development trends of fast breeder reactor technology, etc., the light water reactor is expected to remain dominant in our country until at least the second half of the 21st century.
On another is the exhibit's newest one -- an offbeat, hand-drawn 1987 map "done by a hippie in a Volkswagen bus" that celebrates Los Angeles' Spanish plaza heritage of the 1760s alongside its Space Age Rocketdyne rocket engine test stand and nuclear breeder reactor technology of the 1960s.
Therefore the idea of artificial incineration of LLFP through their transmutation has been quite naturally incorporated into the concept of self-consistent nuclear energy system (SCNES) based primarily on fast breeder reactor technologies.
But it also poured tens of billions of dollars into the development of plutonium-burning reactors, known as fast breeder reactors; their technology, though unproven, theoretically would produce more nuclear fuel than they burn.
For the TBM testing and development of DEMO blanket, R&D has been performed on the module fabrication technology, breeder and multiplier pebble fabrication technology, tritium production rate evaluation, as well as structural and safety design activities.
The molecular identification markers are an important technology for breeder to improve the commercial cultivars.
