Description
The Project of the EFR, the European Fast Reactor, is characterized by close European cooperation among power utilities, plant vendors, and research centers. In the present phase up until 1993 a consistent design of the nuclear part of the plant is being elaborated with the inclusion of a site-independent safety report. The most important design features, especially those in the field of passive safety, must be backed up by reliable R and D findings. These findings will enable the ad hoc Safety Club, a body of European safety experts, to pass its vote on the general licensability of the plant concept. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Das Projekt des European Fast Reactors EFR ist gekennzeichnet durch eine enge europaeische Kooperation zwischen Energieversorgungsunternehmen, Herstellern und Forschungszentren. In der gegenwaertigen Phase, die bis Anfang 1993 terminiert ist, wird eine konsistente Auslegung des nuklearen Anlagenteils unter Einschluss eines standortungabhaengigen Sicherheitsberichtes erarbeitet. Die wichtigsten Auslegungsmerkmale, insbesondere im Bereich der passiven Sicherheit, sind durch belastbare F und E-Ergebnisse zu untermauern. Diese Resultate werden dem Ad-hoc-Sicherheitsclub, einem Gremium europaeischer Sicherheitsexperten, ermoeglichen, ein Votum zur allgemeinen Genehmigungsfaehigkeit des Anlagenkonzeptes abzugeben.
