The Present Status of Fast Breeder Reactors in the U.S.S.R. [and Discussion]

Because of the present conditions-the rate of growth of nuclear energy is slowing down in the U.S.S.R.-the large-scale deployment of commercial LM fast breeder reactors (LMFBRs) is being postponed. Notwithstanding that, experience has been gained through research and development and through the oper...

Zusammenfassung:Because of the present conditions-the rate of growth of nuclear energy is slowing down in the U.S.S.R.-the large-scale deployment of commercial LM fast breeder reactors (LMFBRs) is being postponed. Notwithstanding that, experience has been gained through research and development and through the operation of FBRs, and both grants planning and the implementation of the next steps for the promotion of LMFBRs are under way. A brief analysis of the current status and prospects for further development of the FBR programme is given.
