Summary: Research project "Development of reactors, fuel cycles and spent fuel storage" was directed toward determination of the technically and economicaly optimal reactor system and the fuel cycle for a small or medium nuclear energy system. Within this framework a technical feasibility and economic effects of intermediate conversion in PWR reactors has been investigated. Within the project methods for the calculation of radiation shielding in complex geometry were developed and applied to investigation of the feasibility of the at site storage of spentfuel. Interdependence of fission and fusion reactor developmentwas investigated as an element for the selection of long termnuclear strategies for small or medium nuclear systems.

Keywords: advanced reactors, advanced fuel cycles, intermediate conversion, shielding, spent fuel storage, fusion-fission hybrid, muon catalytic fusion

Research goals: The long term project purpose is preparation of scientific and technical knowledge, inclusive scientific contribution required for : a) a selection of the optimal reactor type and fuel cycle for a small or medium energy system b) determination of optimal radioactive waste disposal solution for a small or medium nuclear energy system c) determination of the effect of interdependence of fission and fusion development on the small or medium nuclear energy systems.
