A CRITICAL EXPERIMENT PROGRAM FOR THE 300-MW(e) GAS-COOLED FAST BREEDER REACTOR - SCOPE AND PURPOSE

摘要

A program of critical assembly experimentation in support of the Gas-Cooled Fast Breeder Reactor (GCFR) Program is outlined. Specific tasks needed for early resolution of GCFR design uncertainties are de¬lineated and a brief program of critical assembly work that draws heavily upon the national LMFBR work is outlined. The scope of the program needs for special materials and equipment is examined and a preliminary design for the first assembly is presented.
