A brief FFTF project description is provided which includes general plant siting information, general layout, plant design parameters, description of principal systems and components, and description of support facilities. The current status of the FFTF project is provided, including status of plant construction, overall status of the plant checkout and test program, status of operating authorization and plant operating procedures and personnel, and status of reactor core components and experiments. Specific information on the acceptance test program and early program results is discussed. The role of FFTF in the future breeder program is described, including its objectives for verification of plant system and components designs and operability and use as an irradiation test facility.
