The international development of the Lead-cooled Fast Reactor (LFR) had an early start in the Soviet Union in the 1960s where reactors cooled by Lead-Bismuth Eutectic (LBE) were developed and deployed for use in submarine propulsion. More recently, the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) Technology Roadmap identified the LFR as a technology with great promise to provide small-unit electricity generation as well as large, grid-connected power. Since then, considerable effort has been devoted to the development of new concepts.

Keywords: Transmutation; lead -cooled fast reactor; generation IV; accelerator-driven systems
