The Integral Fast Reactor

The Integral Fast Reactor 

The Integral Fast Reactor (IFR, Generation 4 Reactor or Fast Neutron Reactor) was developed at Argonne National Laboratories in the United States. The project was canceled by the U.S. government in 1994 for purely political reasons, just as it was preparing its last demonstration after a decade of spectacularly successful development.

• The IFR recycles spent fuel from current nuclear reactors. Over 99% of the energy is left in the spent fuel and will provide all the energy the world needs for many centuries.
• The IFR is "walk away safe" and can't melt down.
• The IFR will convert weapons-grade material from dismantled arsenals into clean electrical energy.
• Many members of this website are the world's leading experts on IFR technology.
• The IFR, as envisioned here, is the cheapest form of renewable energy.
• Leave your preconceptions behind and give the IFR a good look, no matter what you may think about nuclear power, You will be amazed at what you find.
