Back-end of the Fuel Cycle in a 1000 GWe Nuclear Scenario Workshop Proceedings, Avignon, France, 6-7 October 1998

The optimisation of the nuclear fuel cycle is a key issue for the sustainability of nuclear energy. This book presents the papers from a workshop which investigated alternative nuclear energy futures, with emphasis on back-end of the fuel cycle options that could enhance the sustainability of nuclea...
