Ths experience gained from the Sodium Graphite Reactor program, initiated at Atomics International in 1949, is based on construction and operation of the Sodium Reactor Experiment, the design of the Hallam Nuclear Power Facility presently under construction, and an extensive research and development program well under way covering all aspects of sodium graphite reactor technology. Based on the results obtained from our technical programs. various design studies and economic calculations have been made for large sodium graphite reactor plants of present and of forecast 1962 technology, These studies have shown that the inherent characteristics of this concept make it attractive from a technical as well as an economic standpoint and warrant its competitiveness with fossil fired power plants at an early date.
