WPFC Expert Group on Advanced Fuel Cycle Scenarios (EGAFCS)

Ongoing

Scope

Under the guidance of the Working Party on Scientific Issues of Advanced Fuel Cycles (WPFC) , the Expert Group on Advanced Fuel Cycle Scenarios (EGAFCS) studies the needs associated with the transition from current to future advanced nuclear fuel cycles.

Objectives

The objectives of the EGAFCS are:

To assemble, organise and understand the scientific issues of advanced fuel cycles, in particular to support emerging nuclear fuel cycle technologies;
To provide a framework for assessing specific national needs related to implementation of advanced fuel cycles.

These objectives are critical to implementing a sustainable nuclear energy infrastructure and their fulfilment entails:

defining the key scientific issues by collecting and comparing information available from experts in member countries, organising the information in a systematic way and providing a deep level of understanding of each of them;
assembling technical information on the existing and future technologies, including transmutation and storage technologies;
developing and assessing generic scenarios that are representative of the different strategies envisaged in the member countries;
evaluating the potential of systems beyond the current thermal and fast technologies.
