Creators

Description

In the Federal Republic of Germany completion of the construction work seems to be endangered; in France it is expected to feed electricity into the national grid as early as 1983 - Super-Phenix; at present work on world's largest breeder reactor is going ahead briskly. The technological problems involved, say the technical experts, have been solved 'in practice'. A report on how far the work has advanced, how it operates and what is expected of the fast breeder in the future. (orig.)
