Breeder reactors are a type of nuclear reactor that produces 30% more fuel than it consume by irradiation of uranium at a faster rate, it was designed to lengthen the nuclear fuel supply for the generation of electricity. It generates more energy than traditional coal power plants, with 3 g of uranium undergoing fission, it can release 10 times of the energy produced by a ton of coal.
