Abstract

This paper examines fusion breeding, namely the use of 14 MeV fusion neutrons to breed 233^{233}U fuel for thermal nuclear reactors. This can be accomplished much more quickly than pure fusion. It can become main component of a power architecture that is economical, enviromentally sound and has little if any proliferation risk.
