A multiple recycle fuel cycle (MRFC) is analyzed using a simple numerical model. A straightforward approach to MRFC has some unfavorable features like strong variation of the neutron multiplication factor and accumulation of americium isotopes which would likely hamper its practical usage. A solutio...
