5. Plutonium multi-recycling in 4th generation nuclear reactors

5.1 Scenarios studied

The focus here is solely on scenarios for the deployment of a complete or partial plutonium-recycling RNR fleet, in cohabitation with PWRs, in this case EPRs. These scenarios illustrate the performance of the closed uranium/plutonium cycle. The scenarios are as follows:

  • deployment of a complete RNR-Na park in two stages from 2040, called RNR_2040 (figure 5 );

  • ...
