Experience in Closed Fuel Cycle including pyrochemical processes

Research Institute on Atomic reactors ndash RIAR (Dimitrovgrad) is most Russian RampD center of non-aqueous methods developmentPyrochemical investigation - from early 1960-sDemonstration of fluoride volatility reprocessing technology ndash 1970sDemonstration facility for pyrochemical MOX-fuel production for fast reactor ndash from late 1970-sPyroelectrochemical reprocessing experience ndash 1990-2003Preparation for industrial application ndash from 1990-sStudy on transmutation cycle nitride fuel and other applications ndashfrom 1990s

Dry technologies for MA fuel reprocessing andpreparationOxide fuel application as the most widely studied oneVibropacking automated technology of the fuel pinproductionIntegrated disposition of fuel reprocessing and fuelelement refabrication facilities on the same site with thereactorTA The whole complex of approaches will permit acreation of the compact plant for Transmutation ofActinides

Since 1992 RIAR has been performing own RampD DOVITA Program

Experience in adding of minor actinidesin fuel compositions and results of irradiation

Irradiated(UNp)O2 fuel19 burn-up

Pyrochemical technology of adding Np into oxide fuel(5-20) has been developed

Performance of vi-pack fuel with (UNp)O2 fuel hasbeen validated experimentally to ~20 burnup inBOR-60

No evidence of significant difference in performanceof fuel rods with (UNp)O2 fuel compared with UO2 orMOX fuel rods has been noticed

Pyrochemical process of codeposition of Am withMOX fuel (2-4) has been developed

Methods of AmREE separation in melts has beentested

Special vi-pack targets containing Am oxide withUO2 or inert matrix have been developed

Transmutation of Np Am Cm is being studied inBOR-60

Experience in adding of minor actinidesin fuel compositions and results of irradiation

Irradiated(UNp)O2 fuel19 burn-up

Pyrochemical technology of adding Np into oxide fuel(5-20) has been developed

Performance of vi-pack fuel with (UNp)O2 fuel hasbeen validated experimentally to ~20 burnup inBOR-60

No evidence of significant difference in performanceof fuel rods with (UNp)O2 fuel compared with UO2 orMOX fuel rods has been noticed

Pyrochemical process of codeposition of Am withMOX fuel (2-4) has been developed

Methods of AmREE separation in melts has beentested

Special vi-pack targets containing Am oxide withUO2 or inert matrix have been developed

Transmutation of Np Am Cm is being studied inBOR-60
