Abstract

The flexibility of innovative Na-cooled fast reactors for burning Pu and/or Minor Actinides (MA) is investigated with respect to different fuel cycle strategies. Under phasing-out conditions, the burner systems are used for reducing to a minimum level the accumulated TRansUranic (TRU) inventory, whereas when continuous use of nuclear energy is envisaged (on-going case), burner systems may be dedicated to MA management only.
