               Evaluation Of The Status Of

               The Fast Flux Test Facility Program

               Energy Research and Development Administration


               Since congressiona' authorization of the Fast
               Fiux Test Facility in July 1967, the construc-
               tion completion date has been extended by
               more than 5 years to August 1978, and the
               construction project cost has increased from
               S87.5 million to S540 million. Support costs,
               which were not originally estimated, are now
               estimated at SF13 million resulting in a total
               program estimate of S.153 billion.

               The Energy Research and Development
               Administration expects that the fuels and
               materials testing conducted in the facility, as
               well as the acquired experience in its design,
               development, and construction will assist the
               Administrator in making the 1986 decision on
               the acceptability of widespread commercial
               deployment of liquid metal fast breeder reac-
               tors.
               Although agency officials are confident the
               facility will be completed by August 1978,
             ..-.the possibility of additTonal delays is evident.
               Severe conttrution delays, of a year or
               longer, and testing problems could result in
               postponing the 1986 decision.
