Description

This paper aims at presenting a short survey of specific items related to major fuel cycle out-of-pile steps: Ore extraction, uranium enrichment, fuel subassembly fabrication and reprocessing, waste management. Fuel cycle development in France - where fuel cycle industrial activities are mostly performed by COGEMA, a 100% subsidiary of CEA - will be often used as an example. (orig.)
