Thermal-hydraulics of Innovative Nuclear Systems (THINS)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2015,
For the long-term development of nuclear power, innovative nuclear systems such as Gen-IV reactors and transmutation systems need to be developed for meeting future energy challenges. Thermal-hydraulics is recognized as a key scientific subject in the development of innovative reactor systems. This project is devoted to important crosscutting thermal-hydraulic issues encountered in various innovat ...

European Gas Cooled Fast Reactor (GoFastR)
Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2013,
Fast reactors have the unique ability to be sustainable by, not only being able to generate their own fuel, but through being able to burn minor actinides to reduce the quantity and radiotoxicity of nuclear wastes. The latter ability enables fast reactors to not only burn the minor actinides produced by themselves but, in addition, the minor actinides arising from legacy wastes and thermal reactor ...

Central Design Team (CDT) for a Fast-spectrum Transmutation Experimental Facility (CDT)
Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
"Besides the European Global Energy Policy, the European Council adopted an action plan that covers nuclear technologies and supports research in order to ""further improve nuclear safety and the management of radioactive waste"". To obtain a more efficient and sustainable management of radioactive waste and hence reduce the burden on geological storage, one can apply partitioning and transmutatio ...
