Abstract

Research and development of innovative oxide fuels doped with minor actinides for use in fast reactors are underway. Management of minor actinides in a fast reactor fuel cycle is a key technology for successful realization of a sustainable energy supply with a low impact on the environment. Americium-doped oxide fuels are focused on as representative of minor actinides-containing fuel. Two types of fuels were designed and fabrication tests were carried out. Fundamental properties were also investigated. Results can effectively be reflected to establishment of the fast reactor cycle with minor actinides.
