IAEA-TECDOC--1015: Advances in fast reactor technology.

Advances in fast reactor technology. 30-st meeting of the International Working Group on Fast Reactors, Beijing (China). 13-16 May 1997

International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna (Austria), IAEA-TECDOC--1015

Abstract

Individual States were largely responsible for early developments in experimental and prototype liquid metal fast reactors (LMFRs). However, for development of advanced LMFRs, international co-operation plays an important role. The IAEA seeks to promote such co-operation. For R and D incorporating innovative features, international co-operation allows pooling of resources and expertise in areas of common interest. Information on experience gained from R and D, and from the operation and construction of fast reactors, has been reviewed periodically by the International Working Group on Fast Reactors (IWGFR). These proceedings contain updated a new information on the status of LMFR development, as reported at the 30th meeting of the IWGFR, held in Beijing, China, from 13 to 16 May 1997.
