The story of the European fast reactor cooperation

Abstract

This report is a condensed history of European cooperation in the large breeder power plants with powers in excess of 1000 MWe. The beginning, in 1973, was marked by the so-called Utilities` Convention signed by EdF, RWE, and ENEL on the construction of Superphenix and SNR 2. In 1977, cooperation began among the reactor vendors and R and D organizations in France, Germany and Italy as well as Belgium and the Netherlands. After the British had joined in 1984, planning for the European Fast Reactor, EFR, was started in 1988. The conceptual design phase of the 1500 MWe breeder power plant covered a period of five years and was concluded with an economic assessment and a technical safety analysis of EFR in 1983. A number of ongoing studies are being conducted within a specific EFR program. (orig.)

Nach dem Beitritt der Briten (1984) wurde 1988 mit der Planung des European Fast Reactors EFR begonnen. Die technische Konzipierung dieses 1500 MWe Brueterkraftwerks erstreckte sich ueber 5 Jahre und wurde 1983 mit einer wirtschaftlichen Bewertung und sicherheitstechnischen Analyse des EFR abgeschlossen. Einige nachlaufende Studien werden im Rahmen eines gesonderten EFR-Programms fortgefuehrt. (orig.)}
