The management of radioactive waste is one of the critical issues for sustainable nuclear energy application especially after the Fukushima accident. In the latest strategic energy policy of Japan express to enhance a research and development to reduce the burden of long-lived nuclides in spent nuclear fuel using both fast reactors and accelerator-driven systems (ADS). Japan Atomic Energy...

MYRRHA (Multi-purpose hYbrid Research Reactor for High-tech Applications) is a multipurpose research facility being developed since 1998 at SCK•CEN, based on the Accelerator Driven System (ADS) concept where a proton accelerator, a spallation target and a lead-bismuth cooled subcritical reactor are coupled. MYRRHA will demonstrate the ADS full concept by coupling these three components at a...

At the turn of the century a new step in the development of gas cooled fast reactors (GCFR) in the world was made through international cooperation in the elaboration of innovative nuclear energy systems. In the mid of 2000s, in Russia rather active investigations in this direction were resumed under the scientific supervision of NRC "Kurchatov Institute", what happened largely due to the...

ALLEGRO is experimental fast reactor cooled by Helium being developed by the European V4G4 Consortium of the nuclear research organizations of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia associated with CEA, France. Development of ALLEGRO is an important step on the way to the Gas-cooled Fast Reactor, one of the six concepts selected by the Generation IV International Forum and one of the...

The CNRS has focused R&D efforts on the development of a new reactor concept called the Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR). The MSFR, characterized by a circulating liquid fuel and a fast neutron spectrum, has been identified as a very interesting long term alternative to solid fuelled fast neutron systems in the Gen4 International Forum.
MSRs are liquid-fuelled reactors so that they are...
