The Integrated Project EUROTRANS (EURopean Research Programme for the TRANSmutation of High Level Nuclear Waste in an Accelerator Driven System) within the ongoing EURATOM 6th European Commission Framework Programme (FP6) is devoted to the study of transmutation of high-level waste from nuclear power plants. The work is focused on transmutation in an Accelerator Driven System (ADS). The objective of EUROTRANS is the assessment of the design and the feasibility of an industrial ADS prototype dedicated to transmutation. The necessary R&D results in the areas of fuel development, structural materials, thermal-hydraulics, heavy liquid metal technology and nuclear data will be made available, together with the experimental demonstration of the ADS component coupling. The outcome of this work will allow to provide a reasonably reliable assessment of technological feasibility and a cost estimate for ADS based transmutation, and to possibly decide on the detailed design of an experimental ADS and its construction in the future. EUROTRANS is integrating critical masses of resources (23M\u20ac EC contribution, 43M\u20ac total eligible costs) and activities of 47 participants from 14 countries, within the industry (10 participants), the national research centres (19) and 17 universities in Europe. The universities are collectively represented by ENEN (European Nuclear Engineering Network). EUROTRANS is the logical continuation of the three FP5 Clusters FUETRA, BASTRA and TESTRA together with the PDS-XADS Project. It takes credit from the Roadmap on P&T of the Technical Working Group [1]. EUROTRANS strengthens and consolidate the European research and development activities in transmutation. The involvement of universities strengthens education and training in nuclear technologies. The involvement of industries assures a market-oriented and economic design development and an effective dissemination of the results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"gruppo":[],"class_list":["post-19711","projects","type-projects","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"title":"European Transmuter","acronym":"EUROTRANS","project_uuid":"618048b8-b567-1032-95fe-0030485a3848","start_date":"01\/03\/2005","end_date":"01\/11\/2010","funder":"EU FP6","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 |
