Description

The December 30, 1991 french law has led scientists to develop new reprocessing processes in order to implement different strategies for the management of long-lived radioactive wastes from spent fuels. Various existing reprocessing processes and facility operation supervision and control techniques (PUREX, DIAMEX, SESAME, ACTINEX, DIAPASON) are briefly described. Three leading CEA scientists discuss the challenges of the future and according research programs. (C.B.)
