Technological Research Action Necessary for Safe PARrtitioning And Nuclear – Transmutation\u00a0The impact of low carbon energy sources in combating rapid climate change underlines the role of nuclear energy as part of a\u00a0sustainable energy mix. Yet, safety and waste concerns must not be downplayed. For the latter, the main goal should be to recycleused fuel, aiming to close the fuel cycle. This eases ultimate radioactive waste management, enhances proliferation resistance and\u00a0drastically improves economy and sustainability by better use of fuel resources.\u00a0The SNETP deployment plan outlines technical needs for fuel recycling including separation of used fuel, fabrication andcharacterisation of minor actinide bearing fuel and the development of transmutation systems to recover energy and reduce waste.\u00a0This proposal aligns with the SNETP deployment plan and responds to the call in HORIZON-EURATOM-2023-NRT-01, topic 05 \u201cPartitioning and transmutation of minor actinides towards industrial application\u201d. It focuses on the efficiency of Am (Americium)\u00a0separation from used fuel, on experimental and fuel performance code development work studying the behaviour of Am bearing fuel\u00a0under irradiation and on the safety related research supporting the licensing process of MYRRHA in its role as dedicated accelerator\u00a0driven transmuter demonstrator. This project builds upon the collaborative efforts initiated in the PATRICIA project, bringing together\u00a0communities working on partitioning, transmutation, and MYRRHA development.Finally, dedicated work packages deal with education, focusing on pre-and post-graduates, and with dissemination, targeting the\u00a0specific stakeholders and the public at large. A further task on knowledge management encompasses both foreground data as well asmetadata as to ensure that proper quality assessment and validation is possible. The project will employ a combination of\u00a0experiments, theoretical studies and numerical simulations harnessing the expertise of 21 research centres and universities from\u00a0eight EU countries, the UK and Switzerland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9793,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"gruppo":[124],"class_list":["post-12554","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","gruppo-high-performance-and-quantum-computing-biosciences-and-advanced-studies"],"acf":{"title":"Technological Research Action Necessary for Safe PARrtitioning And Nuclear Transmutation","acronym":"TRANSPARANT","project_uuid":"d1470952-dc9b-11ee-bf28-506b8d36975d","start_date":"01\/09\/2024","end_date":"30\/11\/2028","funder":"EURATOM 2027","partners":"\n

In 1995, he works at ENEL-CRT of Pisa on two-phase flow simulation and modeling. He arrives at CRS4 in 1996 where he works on fluid-structure interaction. Since 1997, he works in the ADS field, making CFD simulations and analysis, participating to the FP5 PDS-XADS, FP6 EUROTRANS, FP7 THINS, CDT, SEARCH and MAXSIMA, and H2020 PASCAL and PATRICIA European projects. Between 2002 and 2014, he also works occasionally on turbulent combustion simulation. From 2015 to 2019 still by means of CFD analysis, he contributes in the H2020 framework to the MYRTE project on high level waste transmutation and to the SESAME project on the criticalities of the liquid metal fluid-dynamics for applications to the clean nuclear power of the future. Currently, still in the same field of activity, he contributes to the European Projects LESTO, TRANSPARANT and ANSELMUS as well as FALCON consortium.","post_title":"Vincent Moreau","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"vincent-moreau","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-04-05 16:12:56","post_modified_gmt":"2026-04-05 14:12:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.crs4.it\/people\/vincent-moreau\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"people","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"team_members":[{"ID":10042,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2025-06-30 17:25:47","post_date_gmt":"2025-06-30 15:25:47","post_content":"Manuela Profir received a M.Sc. degree in Mathematics in 2002, followed by a master in Geometry and Algebra in 2005 at the University of Iasi (Romania) and a PhD in Differential Geometry at the University of Cagliari in 2009.
