Description
In view of the surplus plutonium stocks that will be available in France by the beginning of the 21st century (on the order of 100 tonnes), and taking into account an increasing rate of consumption of the quantity produced annually by the spent-fuel reprocessing plants (approximately 6.5 tonnes), Framatome has developed the concept of an optimized plutonium-using light water reactor. This is the convertible spectral shift reactor, known in France as the RCVS (for Reacteur Convertible a Variation de Spectre)
