Description

The ASTRID objectives: → Industrial technology demonstrator; → Integrating French and international SFRs feedback; → A GEN IV system: Safety: - Level at least equivalent to GEN III systems (WENRA requirements); - With significant improvements on Na reactors specificities issues; - Integrating FUKUSHIMA accident feedback. Operability: - Load factor of 80% or more after first "learning" years; - Significant improvements concerning In Service Inspection & Repair (ISIR). Ultimate wastes transmutation: - Continue experimentation on minor actinides transmutation, up to large scales if decided, according to June 28, 2006 French Act on Wastes Management; - A mastered investment cost. → Irradiation services and testing long term options
