The information on this page comes from an info packet I found on eBay, ordered, scanned, and posted online. The packet originated around 1977 from the Breeder Reactor Corporation, a now-defunct non-profit company managing the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Plant (CRBRP) project, a massive US government project aimed at developing the sodium-cooled fast breeder reactor.

Pamphlets

These are fairly basic, though some of them are a bit cringe-worthy at this point. The plutonium one and the waste ones in particular don't hold up too well. Click on any of the individual ones to load a 600 dpi PDF.

Documents

Some documents related to the CRBRP. The links are all to 600 dpi scans (sorry if the files are too big)
