This paper summarizes how technology transfer from the timely construction of the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Plant (CRBRP) will benefit later Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR) power plants. The unique experience that will be gained in many areas from CRBRP construction and subsequent operation is described. The CRBRP construction results will be a fundamental basis for developing private sector confidence in and support for follow-on breeder plants.
