Advantages Of A Breeder Reactor Q&A
How Long can Nuclear Power Sustain the Global Electricity Supply?
I recently read in George Monbiots book "Heat" that there are sufficient identified reserves of Uranium to sustain *global* supply - meaning all global demand for electricity - for about 7 years, assuming no additional reserves are identified and consumption doesn't climb.
Monbiot assumes that we do not advantage ourselves of Fast Breeder reactors, which generate additional fuel (plutonium and other byproducts) as a part of their operation.
My question is, if fast breeder reactors were to be deployed, accounting presently identified supplies of Uranium, for how long could they meet global electricity demand?
I am interested in a technical answer to this, if one exists, along the lines of what % of material from a fast breeder reaction makes itself available for re use (for want of better words) i.e. a mathematical progression.
Does anyone know?

Advantages Of A Breeder Reactor Q&A
someone who loves science?
pleasssee may help me with this? I do not understand at all. "The report must include a description of how a reactor works, and theory behind nuclear reactions. Be sure to answer the following questions: What are breeder reactors? How do they differ from regular reactors nuclear? What are its advantages and disadvantages?
The question is with regard to nuclear reactors. First, research how it works a nuclear reactor. I doubt you have to do crazy things on the complex physics, but it should be mentioned: Containment Control Rods How do I remove the reactor heat How electricity becomes heat theory is constantly uranium fission, split into smaller atoms. The free energy can be harnessed as heat. However, this process is slow by nature. If you put a large amount of uranium as a whole, when an atom is split, the energy can cause a chain reaction and cause two other atoms to split. Careful monitoring is necessary to keep the reactor going critical (ie, a nuclear bomb) and fizzling and not having enough energy. There are several types of nuclear reactors. A breeder is one of them. See the link I provided. Advantages / Disadvantages: What is cheaper, better for the environment, produces more energy?
