Overview
SCK•CEN is at the forefront of Heavy Liquid Metal (HLM) nuclear technology worldwide with the development of the Multi-purpose hYbrid Research Reactor for High-tech Applications (MYRRHA) accelerator driven system (ADS).
MYRRHA is proposed to the international community of nuclear energy and nuclear physics as a pan-European large research infrastructure to serve as a multipurpose fast spectrum irradiation facility for various fields of research such as; transmutation of High Level Waste (HLW), material and fuel research for Gen.IV reactors, material for fusion energy, innovative radioisotopes development and production and for fundamental physics.
On September 7, 2018 the Belgian federal government decided to build this large research infrastructure. This presentation will focus on the status of the MYRRHA project as a whole and MYRRHA Phase-1 foreseen to be ready by 2026.
