Fast consumer reactors are merely variations of fast breeder reactors. These reactors take the plutonium created by nuclear reactors as byproduct, or as fuel for nuclear weapons and "consume" it. This process leaves uranium and other less dangerous radioactive waste. As an added benefit, the isotopes of the elements created as byproducts generally have shorter half lives than the initial plutonium used as fuel.
