Description

This paper deals with different possibilities to reduce the transuranium elements (TRU) inventories in a park of reactors involving critical or subcritical transmutation systems. AMSTER, a critical, graphite moderated molten salt concept which uses an enriched uranium fuel, appears as the most efficient in comparison with others systems
