Description
This presentation gives an update concerning the French nuclear fuel cycle R and D program. France is evaluating a step-by-step approach starting with plutonium multi recycling in PWR, before reaching the full nuclear fuel cycle closure using Fast Reactors. In that way, France is performing a large R and D program, particularly on innovative reprocessing and fuel fabrication processes. At the same time, through collaborations between CEA, Orano, EDF, Framatome and CNRS, as well as with new emerging players, the value of advanced technologies is being assessed with a view to improving the management of plutonium and minor actinides
