Besides the European Global Energy Policy, the European Council adopted an action plan that covers nuclear technologies and supports research in order to “further improve nuclear safety and the management of radioactive waste”. To obtain a more efficient and sustainable management of radioactive waste and hence reduce the burden on geological storage, one can apply partitioning and transmutation independently of future commitment or not to nuclear energy. Within European Union many R&D organisations and industries are conducting since a decade strong R&D in the Partitioning &Transmutation (P&T) field with substantial support from the European Commission. Fostering the European efforts towards a major facility realisation would be very beneficial. This will speed up the development and put Europe at lead in this field. The design of a fast spectrum transmutation experimental facility (FASTEF), able to demonstrate efficient transmutation and associated technology through a system working in subcritical mode (ADS) and\/or critical mode, is thus the next step after FP6 IP-EUROTRANS. In the vision report of the “Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technological Platform”, the need was clearly expressed for a fast-spectrum experimental system to support the development and demonstration of an alternative technology to sodium. Therefore, FASTEF is proposed to be designed to an advanced level for decision to embark for its construction at the horizon of 2012 with the following objectives: to demonstrate the ADS technology and the efficient transmutation of high level waste; to operate as a flexible irradiation facility; to contribute to the demonstration of the Lead Fast Reactor technology without jeopardising the above objectives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"gruppo":[],"class_list":["post-19694","projects","type-projects","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"title":"Central Design Team (CDT) for a fast-spectrum transmutation experimental facility","acronym":"CDT","project_uuid":"61833852-b567-1032-95fe-0030485a3848","start_date":"01\/04\/2009","end_date":"30\/09\/2012","funder":"EU FP7","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":"2026-04-06 19:12:37","post_modified_gmt":"2026-04-06 17:12:37","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"}]},"yoast_head":"\n |
