Operational and Decommissioning Experience with Fast Reactors

Given the present slowdown in many Member States of fast reactor technology development, and the concomitant retirement of many of the developers of this technology, data retrieval and knowledge preservation efforts in this area are particularly important. Operational experience constitutes an important aspect of any fast reactor knowledge base. It is within this context that the IAEA convened a Topical Technical Meeting on Feedback from Operational and Decommissioning Experience with Fast Reactors. The present publication presents the proceedings of this meeting, which was held from 11 to 15 March 2002 at CEA, Cadarache, France.
