               Considerations For


               Commercializing The

               Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor

               Energy Research and Development Administration

               This report discusses what wil! be needed for
               the commercial development of- the tliquid
               metal fast breeder reactor--reqarded as an es-
               sentially inexhaustible source of energy--in
               cluding ,he reactor's necessary support facil
               ities.

               The report addresses the following questions:

                  --What will be the principal characteristics
                  of a commercial breeder reactor indus-
                  try?

                  --What supporting facilities and industry
                  would be required to bring it into being
                  and thereafter to support it?

                  --When is a demonstration needed cf the
                  required technologies on a scale suffi-
                  cient to warrant the commitments of
                  those institutions whose support is es-
                  sential to breeder reactor commercial-
                  ization?

                  --What factors are likely to influence the
                  timing and rate of commercial breeder
                  reactor introduction and proliferation?
