Q. |
Which reactor consists of both fertile and fissile material? |
A. | fast breeder reactor |
B. | pressurize water reactor |
C. | boiling water reactor |
D. | converter reactor |
Answer» A. fast breeder reactor | |
Explanation: if the reactor produces more fissionable material than it consumes, it is fast breeder reactor. the breeder fuel consists of both fertile and fissile material. the number of neutrons released is sufficient to propagate the fission reaction and to produce more fissionable material by conversion of fertile isotopes to fissile isotopes. |
