Description

The French program on fast breeder reactors implies setting up an infrastructure for the plutonium fuel cycle, including a reprocessing plant that will be operationnal in 1983 or 1984. It is planned to operate this first plant with the Purex process that was adapted during Rapsodie fuel reprocessing and to also carry on studies of dry processing techniques, whose use should be of interest after 1985

Abstract (French)

Le programme francais sur les reacteurs a neutrons rapides implique la mise en place d'une infrastructure pour le cycle des combustibles au plutonium, comportant une usine de retraitement qui devra fonctionner a partir de 1983 ou 1984. On envisage d'utiliser dans cette premiere usine le procede Purex qui a ete adopte en traitant les combustibles de Rapsodie sans abandonner pour autant les etudes sur les techniques de voie seche qui devraient trouver des applications interssantes apres 1985
