Integral Fast Reactor (IFR)

The Integral Fast Reactor (IFR) is a type of nuclear reactor designed to produce electricity more safely and efficiently while minimizing nuclear waste. It uses fast neutrons to sustain the chain reaction, allowing it to recycle and reuse fuel, including existing waste from other reactors. The IFR features integrated safety systems that reduce the risk of accidents and can shut down automatically if needed. Its design aims for improved fuel economy and reduced waste, making nuclear power more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Overall, the IFR represents an advanced approach to safe, efficient, and resource-conscious nuclear energy.
