Abstract

The invention resides in operating a thermal nuclear reactor (2) and a fast nuclear reactor (4) in close adjacency with means (17) for transferring fuel elements from the thermal reactor into the fast reactor for a re-enrichment period during which fissile (by thermal neutrons) isotopes are formed and then replacing the re-enriched fuel element in the thermal reactor. <IMAGE>
