The Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF), located on the Department of Energy (DOE) Hanford Reservation near Richland, Washington, is a 3 Loop 400 MWt sodium cooled fast reactor with a primary mission to test fuels and materials for development of the Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR). Highlights of the ATP involving the system inerting, liquid metal and inerted cell testing and initial ascent to full power are discussed. 3 refs.
