Thematic lines

The objective of this line is contributing to the generation of nuclear fission energy by improving the safety of reactors and facilities and developing new reactor concepts and new nuclear fuels.

Its research includes the design, operation, and dismantling of fission reactors, the study of the fuel cycle, nuclear safety, and waste management (both primary and conditioning and barrier materials). Methodologies for risk assessment and uncertainty reduction are developed and validated for situations that may occur in a nuclear accident. Likewise, advanced nuclear fuel cycles are developed to facilitate the management of radioactive waste and the reduction of their inventories, thereby enhancing the sustainability of nuclear fission as an energy source.
