ABSTRACT
The GFR is a fast neutron spectrum reactor that uses helium as the primary coolant. It is designed to operate at relatively high helium outlet temperatures, making it a good candidate for the high-efficiency production of electricity or hydrogen. The fast neutron spectrum will also enable more effective management of actinides through recycling of most components in the discharged fuel. The combination of these attributes makes the GFR an attractive option for continued evaluation in the United States.
