[20:50:06] <Sulla> How is the gates/buffet reactor using waste without violating the weapons ban?
[20:50:27] <Sulla> I thought that was why we weren't using breeder reactors
[21:34:46] <Bytram> Sulla: My (limited) understanding was that breeder reactors were a no-no because they *created* nuclear material [possibly at a purity] that encouraged nuclear weapon proliferation.
[21:35:45] <Bytram> I could well be mistaken - it's been a looooooong time since I read up on it and even longer since I had any schooling about nuclear reactions
[21:35:54] <Sulla> I thought that was a natural reaction from further use of waste. So I wasn't sure if the new idea just didn't have a way to remove the refined material before it is again burned in the same reator or something
[21:36:42] <Sulla> Either way its a good idea. I know in the normal style breeder reactors we have tons of fuel sitting around ready for us to use. The Trojan reactor outside of portland was estimated at having a thousand years of fuel if used in a breeder reactor
[21:39:04] <Bytram> agreed on it being a good idea, but one the genie is out of the bottle... either everybody or nobody. Given THAT choice and some of the actors in the world (e.g. North Korea), I am good with no breeder reactors for anybody, if that is what it takes.

[21:46:09] <Sulla> Appears to mostly have been a US-Soviet agreement. US buys plutonium from Russia (old stock) and Ukraine (can still produce), France also produces some with their breeder reactors but as far as I know does not sell it.

[22:02:03] <Bytram> Sulla: re breeder reactors -- it's been about 40 years since I studied anything about them, so take large doses of salt with anything I say here on that.
[22:02:12] <Bytram> =w breeder reactor
[22:02:13] <systemd> A breeder reactor is a nuclear reactor that generates more fissile material than it consumes. Breeder reactors achieve this because their neutron economy - https://en.wikipedia.org
