FROM AN EXCAVATED DEPTH OF 80 FEET BELOW THE DESERT FLOOR THE FAST FLU X TEST FACILITY (FFTF) CORE CONTAINMENT TAKES SHAPE AT THE AECS HANFOR D FACILITY NEAR RIGHTLAND WASHINGTON. THE FFTF IS A TEST REACTOR. IT WILL PRODUCE NO POWER. IT WILL PROVIDE A FAST FLUX SPECTRUM ALMOST I DENTICAL TO THAT EXPERIENCED IN AN OPERATING LIQUID METAL FAST BREEDER REACTOR (LMFBR). IT WILL ALSO PROVIDE CLOSED LOOPS FOR TESTING REACT OR COMPONENTS SO THAT THE EFFECTS OF ANY CHANGES IN ENVIRONMENTAL COND ITIONS CAN BE EVALUATED WITH PRECISION AND CONFIDENCE.
