The Fast-neutron-breeder Fission Reactor

This book, based upon a meeting held at the Royal Society in London, reviews the principles behind, the engineering and design of, and the present state-of-the-art of the modern fast-neutron-breeder fission reactor. There are also contributions from experts concerned with the fuel for the reactor and its processing. The environmental and safety questions are discussed together with the economics of the reactor and the book should be of interest to all of those concerned with national electrical power generation - such as researchers in reactor design, atomic energy authorities, and economists interested in nuclear power.
