What is the difference in size of thermal reactor and fast reactor?

What is the difference in size of thermal reactor and fast reactor? Correct Answer Size of thermal reactor is very much larger than size of fast reactor

The moderator to fuel volume ratio for thermal reactor lies between 20 to 80. Same ratio for fast reactor is very less that’s why the size of thermal reactor is very much greater than size of fast reactors.
