Harder Spectrum FUJI • Requires very large fissile load at startup <strong>of</strong> 7.8 t U233 per GWe – Electricity bill alone to produce that much U233 from accelerators almost 2 billion$ • Starting on TRUs likely unfeasible due to PuF 3 solubility limits
1 ½ Fluid MSFR (was TMSR) Design has a thorium blanket but only radial, not axially (which would be very difficult)
