“…Then, the storage time could be reduced to around 1000 years [2]. This separation would not only reduce the long-term radiotoxicity but also the heat load, making the fi nal storage more volume effi cient [3].…”

Abstract. Several solvents for Grouped ActiNide EXtraction (GANEX) processes have been investigated at Chalmers University of Technology in recent years. Four different GANEX solvents; cyclo-GANEX (CyMe 4 --BTBP, 30 vol.% tri-butyl phosphate (TBP) and cyclohexanone), DEHBA-GANEX (CyMe 4 -BTBP, 20 vol.% N,N-di-2(ethylhexyl) butyramide (DEHBA) and cyclohexanone), hexanol-GANEX (CyMe 4 -BTBP, 30 vol.% TBP and hexanol) and FS-13-GANEX (CyMe 4 -BTBP, 30 vol.% TBP and phenyl trifl uoromethyl sulfone (FS-13)) have been studied and the results are discussed and compared in this work. The cyclohexanone based solvents show fast and high extraction of the actinides but a somewhat poor diluent stability in contact with the acidic aqueous phase. FS-13-GANEX display high separation factors between the actinides and lanthanides and a good radiolytic and hydrolytic stability. However, the distribution ratios of the actinides are lower, compared to the cyclohexanone based solvents. The hexanol-GANEX is a cheap solvent system using a rather stable diluent but the actinide extraction is, however, comparatively low.

“…This is the case for the accelerator, the target (e.g. the MEGAPIE experiments (Salvatores et al, 1997)), the subcritical core (the MYRRHA (Abderrahim et al, 2001), TARC (Rubbia et al, 1995) and MUSE experiments (Meller and Cadarache, 2005)). The coupling of the components will be performed in a new system, with all innovative features included, with the exception of the subcritical core fuel, which should be of a well-proven type.…”

“…Accelerator Driven Systems (ADSs) are modern nuclear reactors which are able to produce energy and transmute the radioactive wastes in a clean and safe manner (Salvatores et al, 1997). Several research activities have been going on many years in Europe to make the reactor as an industrial technology, as XT-ADS (Didier De Bruyn, 2005), TRADE (Rubbia et al, 2002a(Rubbia et al, ,b, 2004 and MYR-RHA (Abderrahim et al, 2001).…”
