Title: FASTER test reactor preconceptual design report summary

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1246340· OSTI ID:1246340

The FASTER reactor plant is a sodium-cooled fast spectrum test reactor that provides high levels of fast and thermal neutron flux for scientific research and development. The 120MWe FASTER reactor plant has a superheated steam power conversion system which provides electrical power to a local grid allowing for recovery of operating costs for the reactor plant.
