Abstract

The feasibility of MA transmutation in CEFR (China Experimental Fast Reactor) is described. The nuclear characteristics of reference core and those of MA-loaded core are compared, the MA-transmutation amount is presented. Although the amount of MA transmutation in CEFR is limited, CEFR still has a significant role in MA fuel irradiation tests and MA transmutation technique studies.
