Liquid metal fast breeder reactor program in France

  • 1. CEA, St. Paul-les-Durance, Fr

Description

LMFBR program in France can be characterized by a great steadiness in the basic technical options, the acquired operating and design experience bringing confirmation of the future plants design. Studies developed so far in other directions than the Creys Malville ones have revealed either large difficulties or the necessity to launch a specific and hazardous development task. Conceptual continuity from PHENIX to SUPERPHENIX will therefore be maintained for the next step, the design of which has already started. Paper No. F79 835-0
