Nuclear Fuel Cycle: from Strategy to Processes

From March 23rd to March 27th, 2026
Full days

Marcoule, France

Learning outcomes: describe the main stages in the fuel cycle and the chemical processes used for fuel reprocessing; identify the R&D and the possible improvements.

  • Fundamentals of fuel cycle: chemistry of actinides and fission products
  • Uranium and plutonium reprocessing: scientific basis and process modelling
  • Scientific and industrial challenges associated to the Pu-multirecycling
  • Minor actinide recycling as a potential option for waste management optimization
  • The spent nuclear fuels: MOX and minor actinides fuel refabrication
  • Nuclear fuels behavior under irradiation
  • Review on irradiation experiments in Europe
  • Technical visits: Atalante and G1 facilities
