مفاعل سريع متكامل

مفاعل سريع متكامل هو تصميم لمفاعل نووي يستخدم نيوترونات سريعة ولا يوجد وسيط نيوتروني.^[1]

حيث يولد المفاعل السريع المتكامل مزيد من الوقود ويتميز بدورة وقود نووي تستخدم إعادة المعالجة عن طريق التصفية الإلكترونية في موقع المفاعل.^[2]

نبذة

بدأ تطوير مفاعل سريع متكامل في عام 1984 وبنت وزارة الطاقة الأمريكية نموذج أولي وهو المفاعل النووي التجريبي الثاني.^[3] في 3 أبريل 1986 أظهر اختباران للسلامة لمفهوم امفاعل سريع متكامل هذه الاختبارات كانت عبارة عن محاكاة الحوادث التي تنطوي على فقدان تدفق المبرد حتى مع تعطيل أجهزة الإغلاق العادية ويقوم المفاعل بإغلاق نفسه بأمان دون زيادة الحرارة في أي مكان في النظام. تم إلغاء مشروع مفاعل سريع متكامل من قبل الكونغرس الأمريكي في عام 1994.^[4]

^ Radioactivity and its associated dangers are roughly divided by an isotope's half-life. For example, Technetium-99's 213,000 year half-life combines with the IFR's 1/20 volume reduction to produce about 1/4,000,000 of the radiotoxicity of light water reactor waste. The small size (about 1.5 tonnes per gigawatt-year) permits expensive disposal methods such as insoluble synthetic rock. The hazards are far less than those from fossil fuel wastes or dam failures.
