Zinn Design Fast Neutron Breeder Test Pile 3 If it turns out to be feasible to substitute a blanket of thorium, then it is a converter of 25 into 23 [i.e. 235U into 233U]. 1946 W. H. Zinn Design Fast Neutron Breeder Test Pile 8 The part of the array of rods inside the hexagon is the reactor proper. The larger diameter rods surrounding the hexagon constitute part of the breeding blanket. 1960 Gloss. Atomic Terms (H.M.S.O.) 7 Blanket, fertile material put round a reactor core to breed new fuel, e.g. thorium becomes uranium by absorption of spare neutrons. 1969 New Scientist 25 Sept. 639/2 The three essential functions of a blanket are neutron moderation, tritium breeding, and heat-transfer. 1994 Sci. & Public Affairs Spring 27/2 It will..provide a testbed for the study and validation of tritium breeding blanket modules in reactor conditions. 2021 L. J. Reinders Fairy Tale Nucl. Fusion i. 21 The hope is that in future the necessary tritium..can be generated in the reactor itself by embedding the reactor core in a lithium blanket which will absorb neutrons from the fusion process. < as lemmas |
