Schnelle Reaktoren wurden erstmals interessant, als es gelungen war, mit ihrer Hilfe mehr spaltbaren Brennstoff zu erbruten, als sie verbrauchen. Da die Weltvorrate an Uran rar erschienen, fuhrte die Aussicht auf die Anlage von Speichern spaltbaren Materials in dem Moment, als die An lagen und das spaltbare Material selbst verfugbar waren, zur Aufstellung von Entwicklungsprogrammen in den USA, im UK und in der UdSSR. Gegenwartig befinden sich schnelle Reaktoren im Experimentierstadium, und die Weltvorrate an hochprozentigem Uranerz sind ausgedehnter, als man fruher geschatzt hatte. Wenn auch das Problem des sparsamen Um gangs mit Spaltmaterial fur einige Generationen ausser acht gelassen werden kann, so bleibt doch das starke Interesse an schnellen Reaktoren bestehen. Wahrend die Geologen immer mehr Uran fordern, wurden die schnellen Reaktoren so weit entwickelt, dass ihre Verfechter sicher sind, dass sie mit jedem anderen Kraftwerk, sei es mit spaltbarem oder fossilem Brennstoff betrieben, konkurrenzfahig gemacht werden konnen. Demnachst wird England in die zweite Phase seines Kernenergiepro grammes eintreten. Gegenwartig wird das Problem untersucht, welcher Reaktortyp (oder welche Typen) in diesem Stadium am gunstigsten ist (sind). Dabei ist fur die schnellen Reaktoren der Umstand von Vorteil, dass die Reaktoren der ersten Phase (Berkeley, Bradwe/1 usw.) bis 1970 eine be deutende Menge Plutonium erzeugt haben werden, welches fur sie dann als Brennstoff verwendet werden kann."

Politician and law professor Geoffrey Palmer recounts the events and forces that shaped him in this memoir, as well as his many adventures in reforming a wide range of institutions, laws, and policies. Reform has been a recurring theme throughout Geoffrey Palmer's life, not only during his career in politics and as a Prime Minister, but also as a law professor and law practitioner. He speaks of his early life and family background and the eventful lives of his pioneering ancestors. He examines the intellectual influences on his thinking, particularly the nature of his education both in New Zealand and the United States, and chronicles his life according to the issues: accident compensation, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Law Commission, liquor law, Maori issues, parliamentary reform, the Resource Management Act, law and order, prisons, and local government reform. Meticulously detailed and engagingly written, Reform is essential reading for anyone interested in New Zealand legal and political history.
