7. Italian Hybrid and Fission Scenario Analysis M. Ciotti a, J. Manzano b, M. Sepielli b h a ENEA CR Frascati, Via Enrico Fermi, 45, 00044, Frascati, Roma, Italy b ENEA CR casaccia, Via Anguillarese, 301, 00123, Santa Maria di Galeria, Roma, Italy Four different scenarios related to the installation of eight EPR reactors in order to evaluate the impact of the SNF repository according to different strategies have been analyzed The advantages of burning the SNF in a fusion-fission hybrid reactor are demonstrated in terms of radiotoxicity and heat decay reduction. For the first the ore level can be reached in around 700 years instead of several hundred thousands of the once through cycle, in the second a site volume reduction of two orders of magnitude can be obtained. The possibility to transmute fertile elements into fissile has been evaluated opening also the possibility for increased independency from raw materials in energy production, assuring a higher degree of confidence in energy affordability. A typical HR would fulfil the Italian needs in terms of reprocessing TRU or for fissile material production for the Th cycle.

New high flux neutron monitors based on GEM detectors are being developed for application to the ITER neutral beam test facility under construction in Padova. Two experimental devices are being built: SPIDER, a 100 kV negative hydrogen/deuterium RF source, and MITICA, a full scale, 1 MeV deuterium beam injector. 2  Active Area: 35.2 x 19 cm 2  CH 2 /Al Converter Cathode  Padded readout anode (pad area 20x22 mm 2 )  Neutron detection efficiency around 5*10 -6  Employed Gas Mixture Ar/CO 2 70%-30% in Volume  Counting Rate ≈5 kHz  Time resolution < 1 s  Space resolution < 5 mm  Gamma and X-Rays background suppression  Possibility to detect a 10% change in the neutron emission from individual beamlets  Main Information: Map of the deuterium beamlets intensity, derived from the neutron emission map with a suitable unfolding algorithm. nGEM (CH 2 -Cathode) Features and Performances for SPIDER Fig. 2:Microscopic view of a GEM foil.

12. Neutron emission level was determined for the source configuration with characteristics close to the limiting ones. Flat maximum of emission power is achieved while varying emission zone length. Fuel blanket multiplicity dependence on buffer zone thickness was calculated for a lead-bismuth eutectic as a buffer zone filler material. It was determined during the numerical experiment, that multiplicity coefficient has a maximum value in the case of buffer zone removal. Main results of GDT-hybrid optimization (P4)
