Phénix (French for phoenix) was a small-scale (gross 264/net 233 MWe) prototype fast breeder reactor located at the Marcoule nuclear site near Orange France. It was a pool-type liquid-metal fast breeder reactor cooled with liquid sodium. It generated 590 MW of thermal power and had a breeding ratio of 1.12 (12% more plutonium produced than consumed) but normally had to be stopped for refueling operations every 2 months.
