REPORT TO THE


ECONOMIC COMMITTEE


,CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES


BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL


OF THE UNITED STATES


Can The U.S. Breeder Reactor

Development Program

Be Accelerated By


Using Foreign Technology?

For years the United States, Britain, France,
the Federal Republic of Germany, the Soviet
Union, and Japan have been conducting ex-
tensive fast breeder reactor research and de-
velopment programs. Except for the Soviet
Union, these countries lack the energy re-
sources--coal, oil, natural gas, and uranium--
that the U.S. possesses and have more urgent
needs and shorter time frames for developing
commercial fast breeder reactors than does
the U.S.

This report addresses the question: can the
U.S. save time and/or money by making more
extensive use of foreign technology?


Although the Energy Research and Develop-
ment Administration's efforts to develop
areas of exchange are worthwhile and should
be continued, it is unrealistic to expect that
the U.S. program could be greatly accelerated
or that large amounts of money could be
saved through quid pro quo exhanges with
other nations.
