2. GENEMI, DESCRIPTION OF DMSR
The plant concept for a DMSR is a direct outgrowth of the ORNZ
reference-design MSBR, and, therefore, it contains many favorable fea-
tures of the breeder design. However, to comply with the antfp~~life~a-
tion gods, it also contains a number of differences, principally in the
reactor CQPQ design and the fuel cycle.

there is only one difference from the DMSR concept:
