One of the main objectives of the GCFR project is to contribute towards the development of the 50 MW Experimental Test and Demonstration Reactor(ETDR), which is designed to be the first gas cooled fast reactor to be constructed. The ETDR will be fuelled initially with "traditional" fast reactor MOX fuel in stainless cladding and will progressively test advanced GCFR fuels including dense(carbide/nitride) fuels contained in a ceramic matrix. 1, record 2, English, - Experimental%20Test%20and%20Demonstration%20Reactor
