Date :Définition
Nuclear reactor which is designed so that fission is induced by slow "thermal" neutrons.
Note :
They are also known as burner reactors because the amount of fissile plutonium created in the fission chain reaction is less than the quantity of fissile uranium fuel used up. The conversion ratio is less than 1.
