Advantages And Disadvantages Of Breeder Reactors Q&A
What are "Breeder Reactors"?
What are breeder reactors? How are they different from regular reactors? And what are the advantages/ disadvantages of them?
A breeder reactor will produce more fuel than it uses. The reactor would consume U-235 laced with lots of U-238. The U-239 absorbs a neutron and goes through two beta decays to form Pu-239.
Big disadvantage? You have to extract the Pu-239 and that produces LOTS of radioactive waste.
BTW, I think Pu-239 is not useful for a reactor, making its only real use that of being in bombs.
