What Does ABR Stand For?
ABR stands for Advanced Breeder Reactor
ABR, or Advanced Breeder Reactor, refers to a class of nuclear reactors designed to generate more fissile material than they consume. Utilizing fast neutrons, ABRs can efficiently convert fertile isotopes, like uranium-238 or thorium-232, into fissile isotopes, such as plutonium-239. This technology aims to enhance fuel sustainability, reduce nuclear waste, and enable a more efficient use of natural resources, making it a critical component in the development of next-generation nuclear energy systems.
