Effect of neutron moderator on protected plutonium production in fast breeder reactor blanket

Matsumoto, Koji*; Sagara, Hiroshi*; Han, C. Y.*; Onishi, Takashi ; Saito, Masaki*; Yamauchi, Ippei*

Protected plutonium production (P $^{3}$ ) with a high proliferation-resistance was proposed by increasing the $^{238}$ Pu ratio in the total plutonium through minor actinides (MAs) doping into the fresh blanket fuel. Moderator effect on P $^{3}$ was evaluated. As a result, the transmutation ratio is larger with the heterogeneous moderator than with the homogeneous one, and the isotopic ratio of $^{238}$ Pu was increased.
