The sodium-cooled fast reactor or SFR is a Generation IV reactor project to design an advanced fast neutron reactor.
It builds on two closely related existing projects, the LMFBR and the Integral Fast Reactor, with the objective of producing a fast-spectrum, sodium-cooled reactor.
The reactors are intended for use in nuclear power plants to produce nuclear power from nuclear fuel.

Famous quotes containing the word fast:
“Today’s pressures on middle-class children to grow up fast begin in early childhood. Chief among them is the pressure for early intellectual attainment, deriving from a changed perception of precocity. Several decades ago precocity was looked upon with great suspicion. The child prodigy, it was thought, turned out to be a neurotic adult; thus the phrase “early ripe, early rot!””
—David Elkind (20th century)
