Eurotrans

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eurotrans ( European Research Program for the Transmutation of High Level Nuclear Waste in an Accelerator Driven System ) is a research program of the European Commission for the development of a concept and a feasibility study based on this for a transmutation plant for highly radioactive waste from nuclear power plants .

The organizational framework is the Commission's Sixth Framework Program (FP6). The long-term goal is the development of an industrial European Transmutation Demonstration (ETD) on a large technical scale. More than 31 partners from 15 European countries and Japan participate in the program , including 16 universities and various companies from the nuclear sector. The major research area of ​​the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (formerly Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe) is in charge. The project's budget is more than € 42 million, of which at least € 23 million comes from the European Union .
