Back in the late 70's my mom worked for Westinghouse in Oak Ridge, TN, on the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Project. Too bad, because as I remember it was a prototype, and would have been a fundamental achievement that should have led to more reactors of its type around the nation.
Apparently Congress, in its infinite wisdom, voted to close the project before it was finished. Duane 72 Cutlass Convertible On 11/9/06, Infinite Space Systems, Inc. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Overall, about a 50% improvement, including fuel production in the more "progressive" countries' fast-breeder reactors. It's an entire system improvement, which we don't have.
