The '''Fast Breeder Reactor''' is a machine that generates large amounts of {{infoicon|Steam (Super)|new=yes}} from {{infoicon|Water}} and {{infoicon|Core Fuel|new=yes}} for use in generators. And also, the reactor can enrich {{infoicon|Blanket Fuel|new=yes}} to {{infoicon|Blanket Fuel (Enriched)|new=yes}}, which is used in the production of {{infoicon|Core Fuel|new=yes}}. Considering the lower process, produced {{infoicon|Blanket Fuel (Enriched)|text=Blanket Fuels (Enriched)|new=yes}} are more than spent {{infoicon|Core Fuel|plural=s|new=yes}}.

In order to get up and running, the Fast Breeder Reactor requires about 40 Core Fuel which must be produced the hard/inefficient way by twice enriching uranium: {{infoicon|Yellow Cake}} into {{infoicon|Enriched Uranium (4%)|new=yes}} into {{infoicon|Enriched Uranium (20%)|new=yes}}. However, once it gets going, reprocessing the Spent Core Fuel and enriching Blanket Fuel can be used instead, which greatly reduce the uranium consumption.

Enrichment of {{infoicon|Blanket Fuel|new=yes}} is optional and does not affect reactor performance. It runs at the same speed as the main recipe (the one that produces {{infoicon|Steam (Super)|new=yes}} from {{infoicon|Core Fuel|new=yes}}) but enriches 1.2 units of {{infoicon|Blanket Fuel|new=yes}} per unit of Core Fuel consumed. As an illustration, at 4X reactor speed, the enrichment along with the main recipe behaves like the following combined recipe:
Enrichment of {{infoicon|Blanket Fuel|new=yes}} is optional and does not affect reactor performance in the event that {{infoicon|Blanket Fuel (Enriched)|new=yes}} output fills up. There are three operating modes for enrichment, that each affect the fuel consumption rate in different ways:
* 1x: Enrich as much {{infoicon|Blanket Fuel|new=yes}} as {{infoicon|Core Fuel|new=yes}} used
* 0x: Doesn't enrich at all but cuts the use of {{infoicon|Core Fuel|new=yes}} in half
* 3x: Triples the enrichment rate but quarters the {{infoicon|SteamSp|text=Steam (Super)|link=Steam (Super)|new=yes}} produced (and {{infoicon|Water|new=yes}} consumed).

The Fast Breeder Reactor is a machine that generates large amounts of Steam (Super) from Water and Core Fuel for use in generators. And also, the reactor can enrich Blanket Fuel to Blanket Fuel (Enriched), which is used in the production of Core Fuel. Considering the lower process, produced Blanket Fuels (Enriched) are more than spent Core Fuels.

Because of this, it is only necessary to produce enough initial Core Fuel from a Chemical plant II to begin the loop, as long as you are recycling the spent core fuel and enriched blanket fuel. Once this cycle is operating successfully, you will only need to make sure that you continue adding a small amount of Blanket Fuel, which can be easily made from a very small amount of Depleted Uranium or Yellow Cake.

Power is generated by passing the output Steam (Super) through Super-pressure Turbines, High-pressure Turbines, and Low-pressure Turbines with their output shaft connected to Power Generators, typically Tier 2 variants of each. A majority of the Water can subsequently be recovered for reuse using a Cooling Tower (Large). Generated Steam (Super) can be also used to desalinate Seawater and produce Hydrogen.

Installation Instructions

In order to get up and running, the Fast Breeder Reactor requires about 40 Core Fuel which must be produced the hard/inefficient way by twice enriching uranium: Yellow Cake into Enriched Uranium (4%) into Enriched Uranium (20%). However, once it gets going, reprocessing the Spent Core Fuel and enriching Blanket Fuel can be used instead, which greatly reduce the uranium consumption.

For an effective steady state, arrange input priorities for Core Fuel as follows:

  1. Recovered from Spent Core Fuel in a Nuclear Reprocessing Plant (80% recovery rate)
  2. Made from Blanket Fuel (Enriched) in an Enrichment Plant (yields slightly more than enough to make up the remaining 20%)
  3. Made from Enriched Uranium (20%) in a Chemical Plant II (only at start)

Also, arrange input priorities for Blanket Fuel as follows:

  1. Recovered from Blanket Fuel (Enriched) as byproduct of Core Fuel recipe
  2. Made from Depleted Uranium in Chemical Plant II (if left over from regular Nuclear Reactor)
  3. Made from Yellow Cake in Chemical Plant II

Enrichment of Blanket Fuel

Enrichment of Blanket Fuel is optional and does not affect reactor performance in the event that Blanket Fuel (Enriched) output fills up. There are three operating modes for enrichment, that each affect the fuel consumption rate in different ways:

Below are the recipes for all three operating modes at 1x and 4x reactor speed.
