Germany has one, too ("Schneller Brueter" in Kalkar), but it was only
built and ready-to-go - the real "go" never came and not a single
kWh was ever produced.

It is now a leisure park called "Kernwasser Wunderland" (something like
Nuclear-Water-Wonderland perhaps ;-)). Including free-climbing on
the cooling tower...

IIRC, the French also closed down their "Superphenix" LMFBR.
