The nuclear design of the Clinch River Breeder Reactor (CRBR) is proceeding on schedule and is consistent with the fundamental objectives of the first LMFBR (U. S.) Demonstration Plant--namely: (1) safe, reliable, and efficient operation in a normal utility environment and (2) provide a demonstration of the breeding principle. The nuclear design is described by the following generic areas of interest: reactor system design; nuclear data, computation methods, and critical experiments; fuel-blanket management; control considerations; breeding characteristics; nuclear design impact on safety parameters; and core monitoring.
