Abstract
In a water-cooled nuclear reactor for producing energy and having seed and blanket zones, which reactor is cooled by pressurized water and contains fissile material of plutonium and uranium, the reactor is provided, in its seed zones and blanket zones, with a plutonium composition such as obtained from light water power plant reactors after a normal service life and recycle, and with fuel elements whose geometry in the seed and blanket zones, with respect to the coolant water, is selected to produce an epithermal neutron spectrum.
