Objective
The study will analyze the possibilities, limits and technological development steps needed for transmutation of actinides and long-lived fission products in unconventional advanced reactors and other advanced transmutation devices. The notion "unconventional advanced reactor" means a fast reactor with unconventional fuel or a coupled system of fast and superfast zones or a small unit, which mainly will be constructed for transmutation. The other advanced transmutation devices are special accelerators, spallation machines and fusion reactors.
The study is one part of a coordinated partitioning-transmutation study of a group of organisations: CEA, ECN-Petten and Siemens.

The work began with the definition and basic design of 3 reference cores.
Work programme:
1. Large fast reactor with MOX- and metal fuel, fast zones and high axial leakage
2. Fast reactors, small units
3. Spallation machines
4. Fusion reactors

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
