Breed-and-burn fuel cycle in molten salt reactors [PDF]
EPJ Nuclear Sciences & Technologies, 2019 The operation of a reactor on an open but self-sustainable cycle without actinide separation is known as breed-and-burn. It has mostly been envisioned for use in solid-fueled fast-spectrum reactors such as sodium-cooled fast reactors.

Internally Cooled Molten-Salt Reactors [PDF]
, 1959 The initial and long-term nuclear characteristics of two internally cooled heteroingeneous graphite-moderated two-region molten-salt reactors were studied. The reactors have doubling times of 22.5 and 27.5 years.
