A review is presented of the physical characteristics and present status of the fast breeder reactor. The neutron energy distribution, neutron spatial distribution, power distribution, and some consideration of the design of the fast reactor are described in order to evaluate the breeding potentiality. The kinetics and control characteristics of the fast reactor, such as the prompt neutron life time, effective delayed neutron fraction, reactivity change due to temperature change, and power instability are discussed. The experimental results with critical assemblies are summarized.
