[ RadSafe ] Chernobyl and Ft. Saint Vrain

[Johansen, Kjell]

Dan,
As I remember, the Fort St. Vrain plant was He cooled, not CO2, designed by General Atomics.   It was leak tested with N and no leaks were found.  Of course, He is a smaller atom and it leaked.  Hence, it was shut down.  I do not remember whether or not it was designed as a breeder.
