Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, discussing energy options available in the 1980s, explores the development of breeder reactors. Focusing primarily on fast breeder reactors, the author examines parameters and performance of liquid metal, steam, and gas-cooled reactors. Within this context, the book explores design factors that influence production functions, such as capital and fuel inputs, as well as output capacity. It also delineates the tradeoffs between fuel consumption and capital investment in fast breeder reactor design. The author argues that while liquid metal reactors offer higher productivity of capital, gas-cooled reactors offer more efficient fuel utilization. This detailed analysis provides insights into the complex technological and economic considerations involved in the development and deployment of breeder reactors. The book's findings are significant for understanding the potential of this technology, particularly in the context of energy sustainability. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
