Abstract
Self-Consistent Nuclear Energy System simultaneously meets four requir ements: energy generation, fuel breeding, burning of radionuclides and system safety. Multi-component nuclear energy system composed of fast and thermal reactors has a potential to approach to self-consistency provided external neutron sources are included in its structure. This paper deals with general analysis of such a system with focus on neutr on production, minor actinide fissioning and plutonium vector at equil ibrium stage.
