Abstract:
The research program on the title subject started in 1994 and is plannedto be completed in 1998. In this period several technical and scientific
aspects of recycling and transmutation are investigated in different
projects. The results of the 1996 projects are summarized and described in
this report. The 1996 projects concern (1) the chemistry of actinides and
inert matrices to test and characterize the matrices and actinide compounds
in order to develop uranium-free fissionable materials for the transmutation
of actinides; (2) the transmutation of plutonium in light water reactors
(LWR) to assess and increase the burnup of plutonium and to assess the safety
of plutonium transmutation in LWRs; (3) the radiological consequences of
different nuclear fuel cycles; (4) and a reactor physics analysis of new
thorium-based reactor systems to study the possibility to reduce the amount
of long-living radioactive waste materials by means of the use of
thorium-based compounds in a high-temperature reactor (HTR) or accelerators.
