Description
newcleo is designing SMR-LFRs fuelled with uranium and plutonium mixed oxide (MOX).
A novel approach is envisioned to better use the fissile nuclear material from the current fuel cycle.
newcleo is planning to design, build and operate a state-of-the-art MOX fuel facility versatile and modular in nature with an innovative concept to cope with radiological and nuclear thermal effects in order to consume and re-use plutonium bearing materials either already in separated inventories or to be reprocessed in the future, with a focus on fissile material without an already established and existing recycling scheme.
In view of implementing its long-term vision, newcleo will also reinstitute a complete supply chain adapted to Fast Reactors and as a part of it, newcleo will develop innovative and adapted transport cask solution and logistics to support all the globally needed shipments.
In summary, newcleo is presenting a comprehensive view of a closed fuel cycle encompassing multi-recycling in its LFRs with country specific solutions to operate synergistically with existing nuclear fleets, with the overall goal of moving towards a more sustainable nuclear fuel cycle and thus a reduction in the radiotoxicity and volume of the final waste.
