16IEMPT — 16th Information Exchange Meeting on Actinide and Fission Product Partitioning and Transmutation

The NEA is organising the 16th Information Exchange Meeting on Actinide and Fission Product Partitioning and Transmutation (16IEMPT) on 24-27 October 2023. The meeting will be held at the NEA offices in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, in collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The event is supported by the EU-funded PATRICIA project, the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), MYRRHA and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). Advanced nuclear fuel cycles to improve the safety, sustainability and economics of nuclear energy are under development internationally. Partitioning and Transmutation (P&T) is one of the candidate technologies to help reduce the heat, radiotoxicity and volume of radioactive waste. Recent developments indicate the need for embedding P&T strategies into advanced fuel cycles considering waste management and economic issues.
