HORIZON-EURATOM-2021-NRT-01-03 - Multi-recycling of spent nuclear fuel from light water reactors (LWR)

Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes:Development of strategies for multi-recycling of LWR spent nuclear fuel, closing the MOX fuel cycle, and reducing radiotoxicity of the radioactive waste originating from the LWR nuclear fuel.Investigation of recyclability of other elements than uranium and plutonium, as well as innovative fuel types. Scope: Today, Mixed Oxide (MOX) fuel, manufactured from plutonium and depleted uranium, provides about 5% of the new nuclear fuel used in world, with an even higher proportion in Europe. Spent MOX fuel is [...]
