Spent Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing Flowsheet

Many countries have been performing a wide range of research on the partitioning and transmutation (P&T) of minor actinides and fission products. The aim is to provide greater flexibility in terms of...

Regional strategies can provide a useful framework for implementing innovative nuclear fuel cycles. The appropriate sharing of efforts and facilities among different countries is necessary in today’s...

Future nuclear fuel cycles could effectively address radioactive waste issues with the implementation of partitioning and transmutation (P&T). Previous studies have defined the infrastructure require...

As part of the development of advanced nuclear systems, including accelerator-driven systems (ADS) proposed for high-level radioactive waste transmutation and generation IV reactors, heavy liquid met...

At the NEA's Integration Group for the Safety Case's (IGSC) fourth meeting, held in Paris, France on 6 November 2002, a topical session on The Potential Impacts on Repository Safety from Potential Pa...
