FBR Nuclear Power Station

Is it possible to operate entirely on depleted uranium reserves?

With this setup, I'm not sure, because the only available recipe consuming Depleted uranium in this context is [2 Blanket fuel (enriched) + 10 Depleted uranium + 4 Salt = 4 Blanket fuel].

This will cause some problems:

• It will take away 2 enriched Blanket fuel from the Enrichment plants, causing a production deficit of 0.5 Core fuel and 1.5 Blanket fuel per cycle.

• The Depleted uranium supply will eventually run out.

• If you decide to supply the missing 0.5 Core fuel via bus from the external Core fuel production, the Depleted uranium production will still not keep up over time.

One solution to explore and test is to have one FBR set to 3x enrichment, supplying extra Blanket fuel (enriched) to the other FBR power stations. However you look at it, you will have to supply and enrich extra Blanket fuel to sustain the Core fuel production and here is where [2 Blanket fuel (enriched) + 10 Depleted uranium + 4 Salt = 4 Blanket fuel] is useful (as long as you don't run out of DU) .
