French Nuclear Reactor Development: Comprehensive Report

Abstract

This comprehensive report is based on Western open sources published 1958-1965. Various aspects of French nuclear reactor development are reviewed. Special emphasis is placed on research and test reactors and topics related to advanced reactor technology. The relations between and the contributions of the various controlling agencies, professional associations, and industrial concerns in the nuclear field are discussed. A brief description is presented of French nuclear-reactor research centers and of reactors now in operation or under construction. The seven chapters are titled as follows: controlling agencies, industry, associations, research centers, experimental research and test reactors, fast reactors, advanced reactor development. The Appendix covers the following: CEA organization diagram, 1 January 1965; reactor index. There are 13 references listed at the end of the report; in addition, short references totaling 80 are also cited under the description of each individual reactor.
