General Analysis of Breed-and-Burn Reactors and Limited-Separations Fuel Cycles by Petroski, Robert C., Forget, Benoit

“…By recycling used B&B fuel in a limited-separations (without full actinide separations) fuel cycle, there is potential for sodium-cooled B&B reactors to achieve fleet doubling times of less than one decade, although this result is highly sensitive to the reactor core composition employed as well as thermal hydraulic performance.…”
