REPORT BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES





The Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor,-

Options For Deciding Future Pace

And Direction


The Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor
(LMFBR) program is a research and devel-
opment program intended to develop
breeder reactor technology as a long-term
electricity supply option. Controversy sur-
rounding the program--and the Clinch River
Breeder Reactor demonstration project--
over the last several years has led to shifts
in program direction, delays in constructing
the Clinch River project, and a lack of focus
for the LMFBR program.

This report (1) summarizes GAO's work in
recent years on both the LMFBR program
and the Clinch River project, (2) provides a
current perspective on nuclear power from
which to guide the current breeder pro-
gram, and (3) presents information on op-
tions available to congressional. decision-
makers for their use in deciding on the
program's future pace and direction.
