The French dropped their fast breeder reactor program (they built two plants) because the technology just doesn't work very well - reactivity excussions they couldn't explain, volatility of sodium coolant, O&M problems, etc. A much better choice for a next-generation nuclear reactor is the passively-safe Gas-Turbine, Modular Helium Reactor (GT-MHR), which can also burn plutonium and transuranic actinides as nuclear fuel, but much more effectively than a fast breeder.

You've been listening to Dr. Teller.

(GT-MHR) That technology sounds even better ...!! Let's Do It !!...
