Evaluation of National Nuclear Energy Systems Based on Plutonium Cycle with the Introduction of a Number of Fast Reactors. Annex VII

This annex compiles the results of relevant French and Russian scenarios for closing the Plutonium cycle with the introduction of a number of fast reactors. The studies presented in this annex fall into SYNERGIES Task 1 on Evaluation of synergistic collaborative scenarios of fuel cycle infrastructure development. The objectives of the studies compiled in this annex are to address the problem of SNF accumulation from LWRs and to decrease natural uranium consumption based on possible closed fuel cycle scenarios involving the introduction of a number of fast reactors under development in France and Russia.
