[en] A joint study between Korea and France for a period of 2 years (1983-1984) has been planned to extract the prerequisite infrastructure and to establish an optimum system for preparation of the introduction of FBR to Korea, for an FBR plant is expected to be commercialized around the turn of this country. Prior to the joint study, we examined in this work the scope of work to be performed by each partner, through the analyses of reactor technology, international relationship and international economic trends. In the reactor technology, we examined the following items; plutonium availability, differences in fuel fabrication, reprocessing between oxide fuel and mixed oxide fuel, sodium technology, nuclear and thermal characteristics of FBR mixed oxide core, licensibility of pool type FBR in the light of U.S. safety regulatory standards, unique French experiences and technology which cannot be acquired from other FBR developing countries. Also, manpower needed in FBR project was estimated. In the international economy, we examined the following items; prospects of the international economy in 1990's, world economic trends and the Korean position on them, the effect of the introduction of FBR into Korea, etc. Through the above analyses, it was found that FBR industry would be an effective strategic one in case that FBR would be introduced early by the enhancement of national investment capability and multilateral foreign trades.
