Description

Dynamic fuel cycle simulation codes are promising tools for assessing nuclear fuel cycle future options. Several institutions or laboratories around the world develop their own tools, based on various philosophies, with different objectives and implementation choices. The dynamics generated by initiatives [link] involved research teams (NEA/IAEA expert groups and projects, European project Opticycle proposed by CIEMAT, national collaborations, etc…) should be maintained in order to support and develop collaborations around nuclear scenarios studies.

For this purpose, the CNRS/IN2P3 organizes a technical workshop in Paris dedicated to fuel cycle calculations and scenarios on 2016 6 – 8th July.
