Report
The re-use of highly enriched uranium (HEU) reprocessed in Europe
Description
After the shut-down of the U.S. reprocessing plants for spent research fuel at Savannah River and Idaho Falls research reactor operators outside the US have been facing the dilemma to close their fuel cycle elsewhere. In Europe the British AEA and the French Cogema have decided to offer reprocessing of spent research reactor fuel in order to close the existing gap. The re-use of reprocessed HEU in Europe strongly depends on the preparedness of European manufacturers of fuel elements for research reactors to accept the reprocessed uranium as base material for their production
