Advanced fuelS for Generation IV reActors: Reprocessing and Dissolution (ASGARD)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2016,
Nuclear power issues have been attracting research interest for decades even since the actual use of power reactors using oxide fuels was considered a mature science. It has mainly been due to one of the great drawbacks of nuclear power, the waste handling. Presently, there is a renaissance in nuclear power research focused on a new generation of reactor concepts utilising more of the inherent ene ...

Safety of ACtinide Separation proceSSes (SACSESS)
Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,
"Nuclear power plays a key role in limiting EU’s greenhouse gases emissions, and makes an important contribution to improve European Union’s independence, security and diversity of energy supply. However, its social acceptance is closely linked to an enhanced safety in the management of long-lived radioactive waste contributing to resource efficiency and cost-effectiveness of this energy and ensur ...

Transnational Access to Large Infrastructure for a Safe Management of ActiNide (TALISMAN)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Safety issues are of fundamental importance for the acceptance and sustainable application of nuclear energy. Actinides play a central role in the nuclear fuel cycle from mining, fuel fabrication, energy production, up to treatment of used fuel by reprocessing, partitioning and transmutation and/or finally management and disposal of radioactive waste. A fundamental understanding of actinide proper ...

ACTINET Integrated Infrastructure Initiative (ACTINET-I3)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2013,
"Actinides play a central role in the nuclear energy generation systems. In order to keep a leading position in the field of nuclear energy – both in terms of safety and efficient use of natural resources – Europe needs to reinforce its expertise and to prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers who will be able to contribute to develop actinide management strategies based on sound sc ...
