10 French 2006 Act on sustainable management of nuclear materials & waste Defines a stepwise program for long-lived waste that accounts for the complementarities of various approaches, including Partitioning & Transmutation RECYCLE (reprocess) To decrease waste amount & toxicity Retrievable geological repository for ultimate waste A «ROADMAP» : 2012: assess the industrial potentialities of advanced recycling options and fast reactors prototype by 2020 s 2015: repository defined operation by 2025 Closing the fuel cycle and managing nuclear waste July 6, 2010, Singapore, 10

11 Yet many developments under consideration to further improve it The recycling plant of the future new fuel (MOX) new fuel PWR 2 nd /3 rd Gen Spent fuel Recycling Treatment & Prefabrication Spent fuel FNR 4 th Gen. ready for disposal - Energy efficiency of natural resource: from less than 1% up to 50% - Sharply decrease the repository impact: decrease long term impact (temperature) - Resistant to proliferation: process without isolated plutonium b a Atalante/L15 Closing the fuel cycle and managing nuclear waste July 6, 2010, Singapore, 11

12 Fleet and Fuels will evolve LWRs FRs TODAY (HBU, MOX) THEN? (?) (feeding FRs) THEN? (?) (multi-recycle FRs) THEN? (minor actinide recycle? ) processes & technologies : flexible, efficient, cost-effective, clean, proliferation-resistant Closing the fuel cycle and managing nuclear waste July 6, 2010, Singapore, 12

13 France is developing a new Sodium FR prototype: ASTRID An Industrial Prototype Coupled to the grid, 600MWe to demonstrate the feasibility at industrialscale of innovative options in the fields of safety, operability and economy And a tool for assessing at a larger scale the feasibility of the transmutation of radioactive waste, providing irradiation services, and testing innovative reactor design options Closing the fuel cycle and managing nuclear waste July 6, 2010, Singapore, 13

14 France s position and propositions The recent International Conference on Access to Civil Nuclear Energy, held in Paris at the initiative of French President Sarkozy, was the occasion to word our position and propositions : Financing : «the World Bank, the EBRD and the other development banks should make a firm commitment to finance [ ] nuclear energy» and nuclear energy should be able to join the CDM market, Transparency : «No development of civil nuclear energy without a commitment to transparency», Education & training should be made a priority and an international network of centres of excellence on nuclear energy should be set up ; France would contribute through its International Nuclear Energy Institute, Safety should be the n 1 priority, Compliance with international treaties and non-proliferation commitments is an absolute necessity.
