INTRODUCTION

The Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Netherlands and NV SEP 
(Samenwerkende Elektriciteits-Produktiebedrijven) have assigned 
Motor-Columbus Consulting Engineers Inc., Baden, Switzerland, to 
conduct a review and analysis study regarding the possible participation 
of the Dutch Government and/ or the electric utilities in the European 
cooperation for the further development of fast breeder reactor technology.

The objective of the study is to provide the client with an insight into the question 
of "is it desire-able and possible that the Netherlands play an active role in 
European Cooperation for the further development of FBR technology". The study 
is of importance to the electric utilities in relation to planning for future energy 
supply and to development and use of high technology in Dutch industry, in 
particular in view of the past effort and knowledge and experience gained from 
the design and construction of the SNR-300 project in Germany.

It should be noted that the study has been performed during a period of intensive 
international discussion of FBR development in Europe (September - November 
1985). Potential for the collaboration arrangements to become clearer in the future 
especially with regard to the next FBR project, is considered and taken into account 
by analyzing possible outcomes from present negotiations and their impacts on 
Holland.

The report presents a review of the status of the FBR system and of the collaboration 
arrangements being negotiated by the countries involved, namely the DeBeNe group 
(Germany, Belgium, Netherlands), France plus Italy, and the UK. It includes data 
and opinions obtained from visits and contacts with Dutch organizations and those 
directly involved in Germany, France, Belgium and the UK.
