Description

Based on the fact that Russia has in operation two experimental FRs and one semicommercial FR, which has been running very successfully for 13 years (for 1992 the BN-600 NPP average capacity factor is 84.0%), this country has a strong position in fast reactor technology. Government of Russia in its decree at the end of 1992, has, in principle, approved to continue construction of two BN-800 reactors in the regions of Urals. The paper presents the main results of operation experience and new development of fast reactors. (author). 3 figs 8 tabs
