This article reports on the International Topical Meeting on Fast Reactor Safety, held April 21-15, 1985, in Knoxville, Tennessee. The most recent in a continuing series of such conferences sponsored by the American and European Nuclear Societies, this meeting also had the support of the Atomic Energy Society of Japan; the International Atomic Energy Agency; and numerous research, industrial, and government organizations in the United States. The emphasis of the meeting was on the design and operational aspects of fast reactor safety, reflecting the movement away from concentration on severe accidents that has occurred internationally over the last several years. More than 200 persons from the United States, Europe, and Asia attended the conference, at which over 120 papers were presented, including comprehensive reviews of fast reactor safety programs in the United States, Japan, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, and the United Kingdom.
