The fast breeder reactor
Creators
Description
Growing world interest in nuclear energy will involve increased demand for uranium which may be in short supply by 1980s, Therefore, the fast breeder reactor, which produces more fuel than it consumes, will play an important role. In Britain, work on fast reactors started in the early 1950s, while an experimental version is in operation since 1959. A 250 megawatt (electrical) prototype is now completing a comprehensive test and commissioning programme. Design specifications for the PFR are given. (S.K.K.)
