Nuclear energy Integral Fast Reactor

In the 1980s, a new generation of nuclear fission reactors called Integral Fast Reactors was under development by the U.S. Department of Energy. This was a liquid sodium cooled reactor which was expected to be safer with minimal corrosion. It was also to be more efficient and able to use 15 to 20% of the uranium fuel instead of 1 to 2%.
