GENIORS project kicks off

Launched in June 2017, GENIORS is a new project funded by the European Commission to contribute to improving multi-recycling of radioactive waste. GENIORS stands for ‘GEN IV integrated oxide fuel recycling strategies’, and focuses on the 4th generation of nuclear reactors, expected by 2030 and equipped with more sustainable technologies. From 2017 to 2021, scientific research will be led principally on
