[en] The IAEA convened a Panel on the utilization of thorium in power reactors from 14 to 18 June 1965. 45 scientists from 14 countries and two international organizations took part in it. The proceedings of the Panel include 23 survey papers and brief reviews which stress the importance of utilizing thorium. A separate abstract was prepared for each of these papers. Refs, tabs, figs

[en] The historical aspects and current status of thorium fuel utilization research in Japan are described. 6 figs

[en] The atomic programme in the Federal Republic of Germany shows a substantial interest in the utilization of thorium in power reactors. In the early yeas of atomic energy development in the Federal Republic of Germany, work was mainly concentrated on the development and construction of normal uranium reactors and activities in the thorium field were limited to special projects. Development work for plutonium breeders started a number of years earlier than for thorium breeders. The mentioned projects are briefly described, including fuel reprocessing issues
