FAST-BREEDER POWER REACTORS: WHERE DOES U.S. PROGRAM STAND?

Journal Article · · Nucleonics (U.S.) Ceased publication
OSTI ID:4334184
The present activities in the U. S. program on fast breeder power reactors are outlined. The development of fuel materials and designs, reactor systems and compoments, and fulel processing and fabrication are discussed. A brief discussion of the fast reactor projects under construction---the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II, Los Alamos Molten Plutonium Reactor Experiment-I and the Emrico Fermi Fast Breeder Reactor ---is given. Brief paragraphs are devoted to a comparison of the nuclear parameters for fast and thermal power reactors and to the U. K. fast reactor program. (J.S.R.)
