Fast Breeder Reactors form the second stage of India’s three stage Nuclear Power Programme based on the domestic nuclear resources. Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) is primarily dedicated for the broad based research & development of sodium cooled fast reactors, fuel cycle and associated technologies.
India is operating a Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) since 1985, fuelled...

Plenary Session: National and International Fast Reactor Programmes
ORAL
As stated in the “Fourth Strategic Energy Plan”, which was approved by the Cabinet in April 2014, Japan continues to position nuclear energy as a major base-load power source even after the TEPCO’s Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station accident. Its basic policy in the plan is to promote nuclear fuel cycle in terms of the efficient use of resources and reduction in volume and toxic level of...

The Korea Atomic Energy Commission (KAEC) authorized the R&D action plan for the Advanced SFR (sodium-cooled fast reactor) and the pyro-process to provide a consistent direction to long-term R&D activities in December, 2008. This long-term advanced SFR R&D plan was revised by KAEC in November 2011 in order to refine the plan and to consider the available budget for SFR. The revised milestones...

As early as the exploration of nuclear energy based on the fission of heavy atoms, it became obvious that one of the key conditions for its future wide-scale application is nuclear breeding. For this purpose, in the middle of the last century, the Soviet Union started implementing an experimental infrastructure to develop and construct fast reactors. In a quick period of time the following...
