Breeder Reactors Could Extend Nuclear Power Lifespan
Scientists at a Beverly Hills atomic energy conference warn uranium will last about 30 years for current plants. Breeder reactors could extend the supply by producing more plutonium than they consume, potentially powering the nation for a century. Ralph Balent of Atomics International notes breeders burn plutonium and may yield 130 plutonium atoms per 100 burned, versus 70 in thermal reactors.
