Fuel For Transmutation Of Transuranium Elements

Objective

Several technical issues have to be addressed to demonstrate the feasibility of Accelerator Driven System to transmute long-life radionuclides. One of the most critical is the fuel and fuel cycle issue. This project aims at giving all the basic elements, which are sorely lacking to design fuel and fuel cycle dedicated to the transmutation. So, it is essentially focused firstly on experimental work: synthesis and characterization of new actinide-based oxide compounds, development of fabrication and reprocessing processes, and, secondly on modelling calculation: design optimisation, performance prediction, safety behaviour. An irradiation programme is also proposed to be realized however beyond this programme to qualify and validate the selected fuel and design option(s).
