In France, advanced aqueous processing technologies are being developed and assessed to support future recycling of Am and Cm or the minor actinides together with U and Pu to fast reactors. Pilot-scale demonstration is planned within the next decade with a goal of industrial deployment to support the deployment of Generation IV fast reactors. France is also in the process of selecting a site for a geological repository for disposal of high-level waste with a goal to open the repository in 2025. Research related to the study of geological formations and the capacity as a deep geological repository for HLW is being conducted at the Meuse/Haute Marne Underground Research Laboratory located in Bure, France.
Russia is currently processing used fuel from civilian power reactors as well as spent HEU fuel from naval and other reactors at Mayak’s RT-1 aqueous reprocessing plant. The Experimental-Demonstration Center (EDC), which will be a 100 MT/yr pilot facility for evaluation of the fuel cycle based on modified PUREX extraction technology, is currently being designed. This facility will also be used to develop other advanced processing technologies for processing used fuel from thermal reactors. The current goal is to support completion of a new aqueous reprocessing facility around 2025. Research is also actively being performed relative to pyroprocessing technologies for the processing of spent fuel from future fast reactors. To this end, the Multipurpose Pyroprocessing Complex (MPC) is being designed at the Research Institute of Atomic Reactors (RIAR) to support molten salt processing development at a capacity of up to 2,500 kg fast reactor used fuel per year.
