  • 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.

Between 1983 and April 2003 Mycle Schneider was executive director of the energy information service WISE-Paris. Since 2000 he has been an advisor to the German Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Reactor Safety. Since 2004 he has also been in charge of the Environment and Energy Strategies Lecture of the International Master of Science for Project Management for Environmental and Energy Engineering at the French Ecole des Mines in Nantes, France. In 2007 he was appointed as a member of the International Panel on Fissile Materials (IPFM), based at Princeton University, USA (www.fissilematerials.org). In 2006-2007 Mycle Schneider was part of a consultants’ consortium that assessed nuclear decommissioning and waste management funding issues on behalf of the European Commission. In 2005 he was appointed as nuclear security specialist to advise the UK Committee on Radioactive Waste Management (CoRWM). Mycle Schneider has given evidence and held briefings at Parliaments in Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland, UK and at the European Parliament.

  • Operational and Decommissioning Experience with Fast Reactors

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.

  • Oversight of Research Reactors in the Southeast of France: ASN Regulatory Experience
    Oversight of Research Reactors in the Southeast of France: ASN Regulatory Experience Julien Vieuble, Carole Dormant, Pierre Perdiguier Autorité de Sûreté Nucléaire (French Nuclear Safety Authority), Division de Marseille, 67/69 Avenue du Prado, 13 286 Marseille Cedex 6, France Email of the corresponding author: [email protected] The French Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN), which is an independent administrative authority, is in charge of regulating nuclear safety and radiation protection in order to protect workers, patients, the public and the environment from the risks associated with nuclear activities. ASN also contributes to the public information and the promotion of transparency and openness among stakeholders. The key values of ASN are independence, competence, rigor and transparency, enabling its 450 staff to perform their various duties with the needed legitimacy. ASN’s oversight covers more than 160 civil basic nuclear installations all over France. These installations are of very different varieties and sizes: nuclear power plants, research reactors, nuclear laboratories, fuel cycle facilities, and at different stages in their lives: conception, construction, operation, dismantling. ASN also oversees the safety of radioactive material transport. The ASN division of Marseille oversees the nuclear civil activities in the southeast area of France, which covers, inter alia, the nuclear site of Marcoule (4 civil nuclear installations) and the nuclear site of Cadarache (20 civil nuclear installations). The French public Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) has nine research reactors currently in operation: six of them are located in the southeast of France, and a new one, the Jules Horowitz reactor (JHR), is under construction on the nuclear site of Cadarache.
