1 A S T R I D Prototypes and fuel cycle options including transmutation General introduction, GEN IV fast reactors Transmutation demonstration Fuel cycle Conclusions DEN/CAD/DER/CPA Jean-Paul Grouiller / ASTRID Project «Core and Transmutation» «Fuel Cycle Interfaces» BRUSSELS, MARCH 18 th, 2015 PAGE 1
2 Fast Neutron Reactors of GEN IV SFR Sodium-cooled fast reactor GFR Gas-cooled fast reactor LFR Lead-cooled fast reactor ASTRID ALLEGRO ALFRED Closed fuel cycle Closed fuel cycle Closed fuel cycle Type of fuel : (U, Pu)O 2 Brussels March 18 th 2015 PAGE 2
3 Why to choose a Fast Reactors? Three main reasons: Mastering, through recycling, the growth of Plutonium inventory Excellent use of uranium resource Unlike reactors currently in operation or construction worldwide, that use only about 1% of natural Uranium, Fast neutron Reactors are able to use more than 80% of the Uranium resource. Source : WEC, 2010 Survey of Energy. (Coal: 860 Gt, Oil: 163 Gt, Gas: 185 Tm3, Uranium : 3,5 Mt) The current stockpile of depleted Uranium available could feed the current needs of electricity production for several centuries. Ability to transmute and burn minor actinides Brussels March 18 th 2015 PAGE 3
4 Illustration from LWRs recycling to FRs recycling Pu stored in MOX Spent Fuel recycled in MOX FR to start the FRs deployment Scenario can be flexible Both systems can coexist during a transition phase FRs merits as regards to fuel cycle Removal of the stages for the cycle upstream and no enrichment technology Use depleted U; Use Pu included in UOX or in MOX Spent Fuels Multi-recycling of Pu Possible recycling of Minor Actinides Brussels March 18 th 2015 PAGE 4

7 The FRs Prototype objectives Technological Demonstrator for industrial Fast Reactors A GEN IV system Safety : - Level at least equivalent to GEN III systems - Integrating FUKUSHIMA accident feedback Sustainability : GENIV systems shall make better use of U and Pu resource, and have the capability, if the decision is taken, to perform transmutation of certain minor actinides Operability Realization of demonstrations on: Pu and U recycling minor actinides transmutation A mastered investment cost Irradiation services and options test Brussels March 18 th 2015 PAGE 7
8 Minor Actinides Transmutation Concepts Conception, Validation : Based on 20 years of R&D (Contribution of the EU programs) U R T FP All the fuel cycle is concerned by Transmutation R&D Areas : U Pu MA Partitioning processes Fabrication processes Homogeneous recycling Fuels behavior Fuels (U, Pu, MA)O2 Irradiations U * Industrial demonstration in the FRs Prototypes *Priority to Americium Homogeneous mode < 2% Heterogeneous mode < 20 % R T FP MA U Pu Heterogeneous recycling Fuels (U, Pu)O2 Specific cycle for Transmutation Brussels March 18 th 2015 PAGE 8
