Scientific principles of linear nuclear power systems of slow burning are elaborated. Two concepts of a slow burning reactor, one using U-Pu cycle and the other Th-U cycle are proposed. In the first concept the reactor is approximated by a homogeneous media and operates with fast neutrons. In the se...
