Resolution of Proliferation Issues for a Sodium Fast Reactor Blanket by Stauff, Nicolas, Driscoll, Michael J, Forget, Benoit Robert Yves, Hejzlar, Pavel

“…After verifying that the ERANOS code was in good agreement with BGcore, a Monte Carlo-based depletion system, it was shown that an SFR blanket design could breed less attractive plutonium than light water reactor (LWR)-bred plutonium for making a nuclear explosive device. Minor actinide (MA) doping and moderator addition were the two options studied. …”
