Abstract:
As part of the RAS-project (Dutch abbreviation for a programme on therecycling and transmutation of long-lived nuclides, in particular actinides
and fission products) a study has been performed on the multiple recycling of
3300 kg plutonium, recovered from the irradiated fuel of the nuclear power
plants of the Netherlands (Borssele and Dodewaard) and accumulated in the
year 2009, in four different reactor types: CANDU reactor, a Pressurized
Water Reactor (PWR), a High Temperature Reactor (HTR), and CAPRA (fast
reactor, French abbreviation for 'Consummation Accrue de Plutonium dans les
Reacteurs rApides' or 'Increased Consumption of Plutonium in Fast Reactors').
