Abstract

The Story of the European Fast Reactor Cooperation

This report is a condensed history of European cooperation in the large breeder 
power plants with powers in excess of 1000 MWe. The beginning, in 1973, was 
marked by the so-called Utilities' Convention signed by EdF, RWE, and ENEL on 
the construction of Superphenix and SNR 2. In 1977, cooperation began among 
the reactor vendors and R&D organizations in France, Germany and Italy as well 
as Belgium and the Netherlands. After the British had joined in 1984, planning for 
the European Fast Reactor, EFR, was started in 1988. The conceptual design phase 
of the 1500 MWe breeder power plant covered a period of five years and was 
concluded with an economic assessment and a technical safety analysis of EFR 
in 1983. A number of ongoing studies are being conducted within a specific 
EFR program.
