ANDES is a
project (FP7 - 249671) of the EURATOM FP7
in the area of Nuclear Fission and Radiation Protection
and workprogram WP2009. The project has started on May 1st, 2010 and it will be
36months long.
This project
is run by a collaboration of 20 Partners.
The ANDES project will include new nuclear data measurements, dedicated
benchmarks, based on integral experiments, and improved evaluation and modeling
specifically oriented to obtain high precision nuclear data for the major
actinides present in advanced reactor fuels, to reduce uncertainties in new
isotopes in closed cycles with waste minimisation and to better assess the
uncertainties and correlations in their evaluation. According to the recent
publications of the European Technological Platform for a Sustainable Nuclear
Energy (SNETP) (Vision report and Strategic Research Agenda) the sustainability
require the combination of the present LWR, future Advanced Fast reactors and
the waste minimization in closed cycles with Partitioning and Transmutation. To
implement these new nuclear systems and their fuel cycles it is necessary to
improve the accuracy, uncertainties and validation of related nuclear data and
models, required for those systems but also for the experimental and
demonstration facilities involved in the their validation.
