Tipo Progetto: SSA - Azione di Sostegno Specifico

Descrizione:

Fast Reactors have a unique capability as sustainable energy source in terms of both utilisation of fissile material for energy production and minimisation of the nuclear waste, due to the hard neutron spectrum; LMFR are among the selected Generation IV systems to address the sustainability issues. The SSA named "Roadmap for a European Innovative SOdium cooled FAst Reactor - EISOFAR" aims enabling the European Community to define its specific R&D strategic objectives on sodium cooled fast reactors embedded in the ongoing discussions performed within the CA on the SNF-TP; it has the ambition to be a key component of the European Strategic Research Agenda. During its 1-year period EISOFAR SSA is pursuing several technical objectives: - the identification of a comprehensive set of preliminary requirements, approaches and strategies applicable, in general, to future LMFR and in particular to a fourth generation European Sodium Fast Reactor (ESFR); - the preliminary definition of new opportunities of viability's domains where the solutions will be found in order to meet the above requirements, and the identification of plausible design options; - the identification of R&D topics for the ESFR and specific Euratom R&D studies; - the preparation of a preliminary Roadmap for the ESFR. It is expected that the SSA results will contribute mainly on the following items for the ESFR; - strategies and requirements on: safety, and ways for possible improvements; safeguards for PR&PP improvement an d implementation; reduction of investment and operating costs; - feasibility domains for: core design with minor actinides; advanced fuel cycle (actinide recycling, waste management, resistance to proliferation); design options and promising alternatives. These insights will allow helping the identification of the specific R&D needs, the objectives and content for an integrated project in FP7 and the plausible schedule for the ESFR deployment.

Attività svolta da ENEA:

Il contributo ENEA riguarda la definizione di un corpo di requisiti innovativi, applicabili ai futuri reattori critici refrigerati a metallo liquido e in particolare a quelli refrigerati a sodio, oltre alla individuazione di temi di ricerca critici per lo sviluppo di un reattore a sodio, da investigare nel 7PQ della CE.
