PATRICIA: Partitioning And Transmuter Research Initiative in a Collaborative Innovation Action

This project focusses on research on advanced partitioning to efficiently separate Am from spent fuel, on experimental and fuel performance code development work studying the behaviour of Am bearing fuel under irradiation and on the safety related research supporting the licensing process of MYRRHA in its role in the development trajectory for a dedicated accelerator driven transmuter. For first time, the communities working of partitioning, transmutation and the development of MYRRHA are joint in one project.

Coordinator: SCK-GEN, Belgium
