What Does FBR Stand For?
FBR stands for Fast Breeder Reactor
FBR, or Fast Breeder Reactor, refers to a type of nuclear reactor that efficiently generates more fissile material than it consumes. Utilizing fast neutrons, FBRs are capable of breeding fuel from fertile materials, such as uranium-238 and thorium-232. This technology enhances the sustainability of nuclear energy by extending fuel resources and improving energy output, making it a pivotal component in the advancement of innovative nuclear power systems.
