Higher breeding ratio, high thermal conductivity, shorter doubling time and high plutonium production make metallic fuels a viable solution compared to oxide/nitride/carbide/silicide fuels for cost-effective commissioning of many power reactors. Metallic fuels lend themselves to compact and simplified reprocessing and re-fabrication technologies, a key feature in a novel concept for the deployment of fast reactors. Satisfactory physical and technical characteristics of fuel rods with metallic fuel have been demonstrated at high burn-ups, and comparatively easy reprocessing of spent fuel using the pyro-metallurgical method makes this fuel relevant in fast reactors development. The present work is complemented with a scientometric study.Keywords
