Description
The EU is making a large R&D effort to improve sustainability of energy sources and its associated technologies following the SET plan. In particular, EURATOM supports a number of projects to evaluate and develop future nuclear fuel cycle and reactor concepts, including nuclear waste severe reduction by transmutation. In this framework, nuclear data projects had been financed by EU in the different Framework Programs. In this presentation, the last project of the 6th Framework Program (IP-EUROTRANS: NUDATRA) and the recently started project ANDES of the 7th FP will be presented.
The presentation will concentrate on the scientific objective of the projects, in reply of the nuclear data needs for the technological development of this cleaner nuclear energy, the results obtained in NUDATRA and the experiments planed within ANDES. Some remarks on the synergy of these nuclear data projects and the needs of basic nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics will also be presented.
