Question: Do technical alternatives to today’s once through fuel cycle offer sufficient promise to warrant serious consideration and R&D investment, and do these technologies hold significant potential to influence the way in which used fuel is stored and disposed?
Answer: Yes!
Answer: Yes!
The Reactor and Fuel Cycle Technology subcommittee was established to address the question:
´Do technical alternatives to today’s once through fuel cycle offer sufficient promise to warrant serious consideration and R&D investment, and do these technologies hold significant potential to influence the way in which used fuel is stored and disposed?´
This is an excellent opportunity to highlight the best possible nuclear energy technology to address some of the most severe problems our societies are facing to meet our future energy needs.
