Chapter 5 - France
Résumé
Since the ORNL experiments and projects on MSR, various studies on this kind of reactors were resumed in the 1980s in the world, including in France, with studies on the MSBR by EDF and the CEA. In the 1990s, the concept was taken up again with a view to burning nuclear wastes in subcritical reactors such as the TIER-1 project or in critical reactors such as the CEA TASSE project or the EDF AMSTER project.
