Jc. Cabrillat et al., THE NUCLEAR-FUEL CYCLE BACK-END - THE USE OF THE CEA CRITICAL FACILITIES FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF THE PHYSICS, Nuclear Engineering and Design, 170(1-3), 1997, pp. 89-93
The French strategy of nuclear fuel cycle development is at the basis
of large R and D programmes performed in the framework of the collabor
ation involving EDF, FRAMATOME, COGEMA and CEA. In the specific field
of reactor physics large experimental programmes are being conducted a
t the critical facilities of CEA, MASCURCA, EOLE and MINERVE. They pro
vide a large set of results to validate calculation schemes and nuclea
r data. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
