French program on LMFBR cladding materials development
Description
The development of fast breeder reactors is strongly supported in France. The construction of the first reactor of commercial size (1200 MWe) called Super Phenix has been decided and the count-down has already started. As far as metallurgists are concerned, the materials constitutive of the core have already had to be decided upon. The problems at hand to date concern the most correct prediction of burn-up that can be attained and the preparation of the choices for the second core of this reactor and for the first core of the following ones. A brief description is given of research and development on these materials involving various teams in several centers of the CEA, in Cadarache, Grenoble, Marcoule, Fontenay and Saclay
