S>The Enrico Fermi fast breeder reactor plant at Monroe, Michigan is the first to be constructed of this type for the production of power and for experimental study. The reactor will have an initial charge of uranium 10 wt% molybdenum alloy fuel elements. The reactor is cooled by three circuits in series. The coolant is liquid sodium. Vapor from the third circuit is passed to the turbines for the generation of power. A complete description is given of the installation. Descriptions are given of the core, the fuel handling equipment, the primary and secondary circuits, and the control and safety systems. Fuel element fabrication is also described. (N.W.R.)
