PLUTONIUM-DESTROYING REACTOR USING LIQUID- SALT NUCLEAR FUEL (DESIGN VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: nuclear reactors using liquid-salt fuel. SUBSTANCE: plutonium produced in destroying spent nuclear warheads or nuclear fuel and also other transuranium elements are destroyed while ²³³U remains operating by means of liquid-salt nuclear reactor that has device accumulating operating ²³³U which communicates with reactor core and is made for periodic separation from the latter or by means of single-jet molten-salt breeder reactor built around accelerator containing salt target with ²³⁵PuF₃ used as fissionable material. EFFECT: provision for destroying spent plutonium. 5 cl, 6 dwg
