Status of the LMFBR development

Abstract

The development of any new power generation system which can make a major contribution to our energy needs is a multi-faceted task involving the utilization of major human and material resources. The LMFBR development, which has the potential for supplying abundant energy for generations, is therefore a large, multi-faceted program. This summary will cover (1) the need for the liquid metal fast breeder reactor, (2) an overall perspective of its development throughout the world, (3) a brief look at the in-depth technological development program in the United States, (4) a description and status of the two major projects now under way in the program, the Fast Flux Test Facility and the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Plant, and (5) a review of the plans for continued development to achieve a reliable, safe and economic power generation system for practical commercial use on the utility networks of the country.
