A report is presented to provide a tool for evaluating the relative economic incentives for changing reactor core parameters. The cost relations are shown in terms of differential cost in lieu of total cost. A total cost for each reactor described is included so that power costs for a specified set of parameters can be obtained. A description is also included concerning 5 reactor types considered along with a discussion of the effects on power costs of varying the significant core parameters. A listing of basic references is given. (J.R.D.).

A description of fast reactor types is given and the objectives of the AEC program on fast reactors are outlined. General research and development programs completed and in process on physics, fuel and materials, heat transfer, fluid flow, coolant chemistry, reactor safety, and components and systems are discussed. Reactors completed, under design and construction, and under study are described. (W.D.M.) A general description of ship and power plant, tabulation of principle characteristics, economics, potential advances, and necessary research and development are discussed in detail. (W.D.M.).
