Abstract

The EFTTRA European collaboration (Experimental Feasibility of Targets for Transmutation), started in 1992, analyzes material problems related to the possibility of transmuting long-lived radioactive nuclides. One of the EFTTRA activities concerns the development of targets for the transmutation of americium in a matrix (heterogeneous cycle). The irradiation in the HFR of a sample of americium oxide embedded in a spinel matrix, the EFTTRA-T4 experiment, containing 11.2 wt.% of Am-241, was started in September 1996.
