Creators

  • 1. AREVA/BG Aval/BU Recyclage MELOX (France)
  • 2. CEA Cadarche (France)

Description

Conclusions: → Within 40 years, AREVA and CEA gained a large experience in the domain of Fast Breeder fuel fabrication: – Standard and experimental fuels from different designs; – Throughput from 500 kgHM/year to 18 tHM/year; – Technological improvements all along the 120tHM manufactured. → MELOX plant operates industrial methods and technologies since 17 years: – 2000 tHM LWR fuels produced; → The basic design of the workshop for ASTRID fuel fabrication is based on this large experience
