Abstract

Since the Twenty Sixth Annual Meeting of IWGFR. Some design optimization studies have been carried out, based on the completed conceptual design of the China Experimental Past Reactor (CEFR) which has been approved by the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) in January 1994 for the feasibility study. Other reports of feasibility study including General Report, Site Evaluation, Safety Analysis Report, Environmental Impact Evaluation and Economy Analysis are under preparation. The limited results of R&D concerning the nuclear data, neutronics calculation, sodium technology, materials, fuels, hydraulics and safety research have been obtained because of less budgets last year, The CEFR project is still waiting for the approval from the National Planning Commission ( NPC) , which is the essential prerequisite of construction permission for the CEFR.
