Track 7. Fast Reactors and Fuel Cycles: Economics, Deployment and Proliferation Issues
ORAL
Fast reactors, selected at European level as next generation Nuclear Energy Systems, pose undeniable challenges from a technological point of view. In order to support the foreseen deployment strategy, a survey of the existing industrial supply chain have been thoroughly carried out in terms of its capabilities and potentialities with respect to Fast Reactors needs.
The main challenges found...

CEA is the contracting authority and industrial architect of ASTRID Project, an industrial prototype of 4th generation Sodium Fast Reactor. This reactor of 600 eMW is integrating French and international SFRs feedback, especially in domains of safety, operability and ultimate wastes transmutation. The project is funded for basic design phase (2016-2019) through France Future Investments...
