High-temperature reactor physics and fuel cycle studies

Objective

Recent HTR designs take benefit of new core configurations that limit the maximum temperatures in core heat-up accidents without endangering the fission product retention capabilities of the coated-particle fuel. Such an annular core geometry has been realised in the Japanese HTTR for the first time. Calculations and experimental data on different core configurations allow for a verification and improvement of the analytical tools in connection with a sensitive study on the nuclear data base. The high burn-up potential of HTR fuel can be used for actinides burning and minimisation of long-lived radiotoxides. Different fuel strategies have to be analysed also with regard to core physics and nuclear stability. HTR-specific waste streams are quantified to identify waste reduction potentials. The long-term resistance of directly disposed HTR-fuel is investigated for different geologic conditions.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
