Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
75 words
A LARGE FAST BREEDER NUCLEAR REACTOR COMPRISING AT LEAST TWO FUEL REGIONS CONTAINING FISSILE MATERIAL AND BEING SEPARATED SOLELY BY AN INTERNAL BLANKET OF FERTILE MATERIAL BY A DISTANCE SUFFICIENT TO AVOID SUBSTANTIALLY DIRECT INTERACTION BETWEEN SAID FUEL REGIONS, AN EXTERNAL BLANKET OF FERTILE MATERIAL SURROUNDING SAID FUEL REGIONS, AND COOLING MEANS WITH WATER COOLANT IN SAID REACTOR TO REMOVE THE THERMAL NUCLEAR ENERGY GENERATED THEREIN, SAID REACTOR HAVING A NEGATIVE VOID COEFFICIENT OF REACTIVITY.
