- 1FBRs eliminate the need for heavy water as a moderator in nuclear reactors.
- 2FBRs operate using controlled nuclear fusion and hence produce minimal radioactive waste.
- 3FBRs enable the conversion of fertile material into fissile fuel, strengthening long-term nuclear fuel security.✓
- 4FBRs are required to directly generate electricity from thorium reserves.
Correct answer
FBRs enable the conversion of fertile material into fissile fuel, strengthening long-term nuclear fuel security.
