====Europe==== *[[Dounreay Loop type Fast Reactor]] (DFR), 1959–1977, was a 14 MWe and [[Prototype Fast Reactor]] (PFR), 1974–1994, 250 MWe, in [[Caithness]], in the [[Highland (council area)|Highland]] area of [[Scotland]]. *[[Dounreay Pool type Fast Reactor]] (PFR), 1975–1994, was a 600 MWt, 234 MWe which used mixed oxide (MOX) fuel. *[[Rapsodie]] in [[Cadarache]], France, (20 then 40 MW) operated between 1967 and 1982. *[[Superphénix]], in France, 1200 MWe, closed in 1997 due to a political decision and high costs. *[[Phénix]], 1973, France, 233 MWe, restarted 2003 at 140 MWe for experiments on transmutation of nuclear waste for six years, ceased power generation in March 2009, though it will continue in test operation and to continue research programs by CEA until the end of 2009. Stopped in 2010. *KNK-II, in Germany a 21 MWe experimental compact sodium-cooled fast reactor operated from Oct 1977-Aug 1991. The objective of the experiment was to eliminate nuclear waste while producing energy. There were minor sodium problems combined with public protests which resulted in the closure of the facility.
