For the first time a book has been written on the technological and
scientific knowledge, acquired during, buiding , operation and even
dismantling of the Superphenix plant. This reactor remains today
the most powerful sodium fast breeder reactor operated in the
world.(1200 MWe). The last fast breeder reactor operated in the
world is BN 800 in Russia that reached his nominal power (800 MWe)
in 2016. Joel Guidez began his career in the field of sodium-cooled
fast reactors after leaving Ecole Centrale-Paris, in 1973. He has
held various positions at Cadarache, Phenix and Superphenix,
including as the head of the thermal hydraulic laboratory
conducting tests for Phenix, Superphenix and the EFR European Fast
Reactor project. He was also head of the OSIRIS research reactor,
located at SACLAY, and of the HFR European Commission reactor,
located in the Netherlands and spent two years as nuclear attache
at the French embassy in Berlin. His 2012 book "Phenix: the
experience feedback" was translated into English and republished in
2013, and this new book on Superphenix is in the same spirit of
thematic analysis of a reactor experience feedback. Gerard Prele
graduated from the Ecole Centrale-Lyon and entered EDF and the
field of sodium-cooled fast reactors in 1983. In 1985 he joined
Superphenix, where he was a duty engineer and was later in charge
of safety. He has held various positions at Superphenix and Phenix
and was a fast neutron reactor (SFR) engineer at the EDF Centre
Lyonnais d'Ingenierie (CLI). He worked as Safety Security
Environment and Radiation Protection Mission head in Superphenix at
the beginning of dismantling and then in the field of PWR for two
years. Since 2006 he has been involved in the Gen IV and the
SFR/Astrid projects. Today, as an SFR/system and operations expert,
one of his major roles is assisting the CEA in the preliminary
design of the ASTRID reactor.
