Present status of the RERTR in France: Main problems in the field of fuel storage, transportation and reprocessing

  • 1. CEA/CEN, Saclay (France)

Description

In the very near future, reactor operators will have to find additional interim storage capabilities in order to cope with the suspension of shipments for reprocessing. While a possible short-term solution for French reactors may be the use of PEGASE (CEA-Cadarache Interim Storage Facility), the DOE is expected to make a point decision shortly. In the event the DOE no longer performs reprocessing, especially for 93% - enriched uranium, an alternative industrial solution could be implemented in Europe
