[en] This directory comprises two main sections. Section 1 contains general information, under country headings, of basic data including location, output, efficiency, owner, operator, costs and contractors. Section 2 gives technical data on the reactors and components, tabulated according to reactor type. An alphabetical listing of stations gives cross-references to the main sections. (U.K.)

[en] Achievements of the IAEA in advancing the cause of the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons are discussed with respect to the decision by the People's Republic of China to gain membership of the IAEA, proposals for an international plutonium storage scheme, international collaboration on spent fuel management and waste disposal, and the committee on assurance of supply. It is concluded that safeguards or similar techniques might be used to verify agreements to halt the production of fissionable material being fed into stocks of warheads. The IAEA could be used directly for verification measures. (U.K.)

[en] As bidding on the Guangdong project in China becomes more complex, with KWU, in addition to Framatome, invited to make an offer, much of the uncertainty that has hitherto surrounded the organization of the project has been lifted. (author)

[en] Plans are outlined for a medium powered pool-type research and radioisotope production reactor complex as a possible replacement for the Australian reactor HIFAR. A simplified diagram is shown. (U.K.)

[en] A review is given of a special round-table meeting held in Lyon to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency. The future of advanced reactor systems was discussed. (UK)

[en] The US high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) programme is discussed with respect to work by Gas-Cooled Reactor Associates. A shift is apparent from the nearly finished conceptual design for the 2240 MWt steam cycle-cogeneration (HTGR SC/C) project to the half size (1170 MWt) HTGR SC/C and to the 400 MWe modular HTR concept. A major reason for the upsurge of interest in the modular HTGR is the inherent safety which is achievable with such small reactors. Features of the modular design include a steel pressure vessel and a pebble bed. The role for the modular HTGR is discussed. (U.K.)

[en] Since commissioning in December 1969, the Soviet Union's fast research reactor, BOR-60, has suffered from badly leaking fuel elements, contamination from sodium combustion, and related problems. However, useful experience has been gained in the extraction of removable sections of various reactor components for maintenance. Some of the safety problems encountered during these operations are described. (author)

[en] A guide to manufacturers, consultants, architect engineers and specialist companies in the nuclear industry is given from information supplied by the companies towards the end of 1984 and the beginning of 1985. The guide contains a listing of national and international nuclear organisations followed by a company address section and a classified guide. (U.K.)
