Abstract
The rising costs of U235 and other fossil fuels, and the schedule for implementing the breeder reactor have renewed interest in the utilization of accelerators for breeding U233 or Pu239. This paper discusses some of the basic accelerator parameters and choices to be made in order to meet the technical and economic requirements of such a facility.Keywords
