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 1997 projects, carried out in the period July
1997 to June 1998, are summarized and described in this report. The 1997
projects concern (1) transmutation of actinides in inert matrices with the
aim to design, test and characterize uranium-free fission materials for the
transmutation of actinides, both for single as for multiple recycling
strategies; (2) scenario studies for plutonium recycling with the aim to gain
insight into the possibilities to reduce plutonium reserves by using
plutonium as a fissionable material in reactors; (3) transmutation by means
of accelerator-driven systems with the aim to analyze the options for the
burning of plutonium in accelerator-driven, thorium-based systems; and (4)
separation of actinides and lanthanides by means of Supported Liquid
Membranes with the aim to study the possibility to extract americium from
nuclear waste materials. refs.
