Description
An annular high leakage core dedicated to transmute and incinerate Minor Actinides is investigated for its safety potential. Improvements of the safety potential are investigated and proposed which concern the coolant void worth and the Doppler coefficient, but also the core behavior under core disruptive accident conditions. The basic capability of the core to burn Minor Actinides is additionally demonstrated
