Abstract EN
The use of fine distributed moderating material to enhance the feedback effects and to reduce the sodium void effecting SFRs is described.
The drawback on the feedback effects due to the introduction of minor actinides into SFR fuel is analyzed.
The possibility of compensation of the effect of the minor actinides on the feedback effects by the use of fine distributed moderating material is demonstrated.
The consequences of the introduction of fine distributed moderating material into fuel assemblies with fuel configurations foreseen for minor actinide transmutation are analyzed, and the positive effects on the transmutation efficiency are shown.
Finally, the possible increase of the Americium content to improve the transmutation efficiency is discussed, the limit value of Americium is determined, and the possibilities given by an increase of the hydrogen content are analyzed.
