Description: The United States is not alone in developing liquid metal fast breeder reactor technology. Plants are already operating in France, the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom; West Germany and Japan should complete theirs before the U.S. Shown here is the 250-MWe Dounreay prototype fast reactor in Scottland (large white and black building) which has been generating electricity since 1975.
