ABSTRACT:
An initial charge core of a fast breeder and a method of renewing fuel in the initial charge core. The initial charge core comprises a driver core region containing a fissile material, an external blanket region containing a fertile material and surrounding the driver core region, and an internal blanket region disposed within the driver core region and containing a fertile material. The axial thickness of the internal blanket region is greater at its central portion that at the peripheral portion thereof. The internal blanket region is enriched with the fissile material. The degree of enrichment in the internal blanket region is greater than that in the driver core region.
