European HPRRs, operators, and their target fuel system(s) for conversion.
| Reactor (primary type) | Operator/Organization | Current fuel system(s) targetedfor potential conversion |
|---|---|---|
| BR2 – Belgian Reactor 2 (material test reactor) | SCK CEN Mol, Belgium | U3Si2 / UMo dispersion |
| FRM-II – Forschungs-Neutronenquelle Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (neutron source, beam-tube reactor) | Technische Universität München (TUM) Garching bei München, Germany | UMo monolithic |
| RHF – Réacteur a Haut Flux (neutron source, beam-tube reactor) | Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) Grenoble, France | U3Si2 / UMo dispersion |
| JHR – Jules Horowitz Reactor (material test reactor) Note: Under construction | Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique(CEA) Cadarache, France | U3Si2 / UMo dispersion /UMo monolithic1 |
1The driver fuel for the first years of nominal operations of JHR will not be High Assay LEU (HALEU; < 20 % U-235 enrichment). For the JHR reference fuel after this period, CEA is deeply involved in the international collaborations aiming to develop and qualify the various HALEU fuels, in particular within the HERACLES consortium (high loaded U3Si2, UMo dispersion and monolithic fuels) [38, 39].
