Abstract
The European experience with the fast breeder reactor (FBR) fuel cycle covers >20 yr of work. Experience with fuel fabrication is reported. The existing facilities in Europe, with minor adaptations, are adequate to manufacture all the fuel required for European FBRs up to the end of this century. The feasibility of FBR fuel reprocessing has been widely demonstrated in European facilities at significant scale. Research and development is proceeding on all aspects of reprocessing and the two European pilot plants (Dounreay and Marcoule) are invaluable tools for supporting the design of an industrial-scale reprocessing plant.
