Abstract

See full text

A lightly hydrided/deuterated metallic plutonium-thorium fuel for use in a fast fission pool-type nuclear reactor cooled with liquid metal coolants, including lithium-7 lead eutectic, lead bismuth eutectic or lead. When so used, plutonium-239 is consumed, and merchantable heat is produced along with fissile uranium-233, which can be denatured with uranium-238 and used in light water reactors as fuel.
