  • The Jules Horowitz Reactor Project, a Driver for Revival of the Research Reactor Community
    THE JULES HOROWITZ REACTOR PROJECT, A DRIVER FOR REVIVAL OF THE RESEARCH REACTOR COMMUNITY P. PERE, C. CAVAILLER, C. PASCAL AREVA TA CEA Cadarache - Etablissement d'AREVA TA - Chantier RJH - MOE - BV2 - BP n° 9 – 13115 Saint Paul lez Durance - France CS 50497 - 1100, rue JR Gauthier de la Lauzière, 13593 Aix en Provence cedex 3 – France ABSTRACT The first concrete of the nuclear island for the Jules Horowitz Reactor (JHR) was poured at the end of July 2009 and construction is ongoing. The JHR is the largest new platform for irradiation experiments supporting Generation II and III reactors, Generation IV technologies, and radioisotope production. This facility, composed of a unique grouping of workshops, hot cells and hot laboratories together with a first -rate MTR research reactor, will ensure that the process, from preparations for irradiation experiments through post-irradiation non-destructive examination, is completed expediently, efficiently and, of course, safely. In addition to the performance requirements to be met in terms of neutron fluxes on the samples (5x1014 n.cm-2/sec-1 E> 1 MeV in core and 3,6x1014 n.cm-2/sec-1 E<0.625 eV in the reflector) and the JHR’s considerable irradiation capabilities (more than 20 experiments and one-tenth of irradiation area for simultaneous radioisotope production), the JHR is the first MTR to be built since the end of the 1960s, making this an especially challenging project. The presentation will provide an overview of the reactor, hot cells and laboratories and an outline of the key milestones in the project schedule, including initial criticality in early 2014 and radioisotope production in 2015.

  • The Jules Horowitz Reactor Core and Cooling System Design
    The Jules Horowitz Reactor core and cooling system design M. Boyard*, JM. Cherel**, C. Pascal*, B. Guigon*** * AREVA-Technicatome, 1100 rue Jean René Guillibert Gautier de la Lauzière 13100 Aix en Provence, FRANCE ** AREVA-Framatome-ANP, 9-10 rue Juliette Récamier 69006 Lyon, FRANCE *** Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique, 13108 Saint-Paul-lez-Durance cedex, FRANCE ABSTRACT The CEA (Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique) is planning to build a new MTR called the Jules Horowitz Reactor (JHR). JHR at Cadarache will become by 2014 and for decades a major research infrastructure in Europe for supporting existing power plants operation and lifetime extension as well as future reactor developments [1]. AREVA (Technicatome and Framatome- ANP) and EDF are performing the design studies. The JHR will be a tank pool type reactor using light water as coolant and moderator. The reactor has been designed to provide a neutron flux strong enough to carry out irradiation relevant for generations 2, 3 and 4 power plants: flexibility and adaptability, high neutron flux, instrumented experiments, loops to reproduce environments representatives of the different power plant technologies . Updated safety requirements and LEU fuel elements have been taken into account in the design of this high flux reactor. This paper presents the guidelines for the design of the main items, the various options considered and the choices made at the end of the detailed studies phase regarding: − Core shape, − Fuel element and core pitch, − Reflector and core-reflector interface, − Normal and emergency cooling systems, − Reactivity control system. MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE REACTOR The “Jules Horowitz Reactor” (JHR) will be a structuring infrastructure of the European research area.

Box 100 A-1400 Vienna, Austria OPERATIONAL AND DECOMMISSIONING EXPERIENCE WITH FAST REACTORS IAEA, VIENNA, 2004 IAEA-TECDOC-1405 ISBN 92–0–107804–8 ISSN 1011–4289 © IAEA, 2004 Printed by the IAEA in Austria August 2004 FOREWORD The fast reactor, which can generate electricity and breed additional fissile material for future fuel stocks, is a resource that will be needed when economic uranium supplies for the advanced water cooled reactors or other thermal-spectrum options diminish. Further, the fast-fission fuel cycle in which material is recycled offers the flexibility needed to contribute decisively towards solving the problem of growing ‘spent’ fuel inventories by greatly reducing the volume of high level waste that must be disposed of in long term repositories. This is a waste management option that also should be retained for future generations. The fast reactor has been the subject of research and development programmes in a number of countries for more than 50 years. Now, despite early sharing and innovative worldwide research and development, ongoing work is confined to China, France, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and the Russian Federation. Information generated worldwide will be needed in the future.

  • Audition Sur Les Conséquences De L'arrêt Du Programme ASTRID
    Paris, le 25 novembre 2020 Audition sur les conséquences de l’arrêt du programme ASTRID Audition de Madame Valérie Faudon, déléguée générale de la Société française d’énergie nucléaire (Sfen) par les parlementaires de l’Office parlementaire d'évaluation des choix scientifiques et technologiques (OPECST). Tout d’abord je souhaiterais vous remercier, au nom de la Sfen, de nous recevoir aujourd’hui. La Sfen est une société savante, qui rassemble les scientifiques et ingénieurs du nucléaire depuis 1973. Notre raison d’être est de « permettre aux esprits curieux de se faire de nouvelles idées sur le nucléaire » et notre nouvelle signature est « faire avancer le nucléaire ». La décision de l’arrêt du programme ASTRID et de la mise en place d’un nouveau programme structurant « Promouvoir une économie circulaire au sein de la filière » a été actée par la signature du Contrat stratégique de la filière nucléaire le 28 janvier 2019. Pour rappel, le Comité stratégique de la filière nucléaire (CSFN), qui a rédigé ce projet, a, comme tous les comités stratégiques de filière, une configuration tripartite : organisations syndicales – Etat – Industriels. Parmi ces derniers, on peut citer EDF, le CEA, et Orano. Il est important de rappeler qu’il y a eu consensus, au sein des industriels de la filière, sur cet accord. Au niveau de la Sfen, cette décision a d’abord été une déception pour beaucoup de nos adhérents, attachés à l’excellence de la recherche nucléaire française dans le domaine des réacteurs à neutrons rapides. L’avant-projet sommaire (APS) d’ASTRID a reçu en 2016 le grand prix Sfen, qui est la plus haute récompense française en matière de recherche scientifique sur le nucléaire.
