Global Adoption of Fast Neutron Reactors for Closed Fuel Cycles

The world lacks widespread adoption of fast neutron reactors, which could enable closed nuclear fuel cycles, improving fuel sustainability and waste minimization. Despite decades of knowledge about their potential, only a few such reactors exist globally. The reasons for this limited adoption are unclear, but potential factors include economics, regulatory issues, political will, or lack of concern for fuel sustainability.
