【美国《能源部内部通讯》1981年4月3日报道】据能源部3月底向国会提交的一份关于液态金属快中子增殖堆概念设计的研究报告说,要建成液态金属快中子增殖堆100万千瓦的示范装置需耗资30亿美元,历时十年半。该装置将设计成回路式,作为向增殖堆商业化发展过程中继克林奇河增殖堆之 [United States Department of Energy Internal Communications, April 3, 1981] According to a study submitted by the Department of Energy to Congress on the concept design of liquid metal fast breeder reactors at the end of March, a liquid metal fast neutron multiplication system was established. The demonstration plant with a capacity of 1 million kilowatts needs to cost 3 billion U.S. dollars for a period of ten and a half years. The device will be designed as a loop type that will serve as a relay to the Clinch River Breeding Reactor for the commercial development of the breeder reactor.
