摘要：

Mathematical simulation is used to show that it is possible to develop a fast reactor operating on uranium plutonium oxide fuel (UO2)(1-x) (PuO2)(x), the same for all fuel elements in the core, and with uranium carbide in breeding elements with heavy coolant (PbBi eutectic). A self-regulatable regime is obtained in the reactor. This enhances safety while minimizing control. Tailings uranium with 0.1% U-235 and a mixture of plutonium isotopes, which is obtained from spent fuel, making it possible to conduct operation in an actinide-closed fuel cycle, is used in the fuel and uranium carbide. U-238 is actually consumed in the reactor, but most fission products are produced from Pu-239.
