FBR activities in france are carried out in the frame work of the European cooperation with the Federal Republic of Germany and the United Kingdom. The goal of this cooperation is to define the design of a commercial size (1500 MWe) unit, called European fast Reactor (EFR) which could be introduced in any of 3 countries provided that the economic competiveness with equivalent LWR`s design with the equivalent safety criteria is proved. This paper describes the goals of the fast reactor program, fuel requirements, core physics, thermalhydraulics, steam generator unit, and safety.
