title = "Modelling long term performances of minor actinide fuel targets in the experimental ADS MYRRHA",
abstract = "Since 1997, the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre SCK•CEN has been performing the pre-design studies of a small subcritical ADS called MYRRHA which could be a step towards a European experimental transmuter XT-ADS. Development of new tools which can allow prognosis of the behaviour of advanced non-uranium fuels in MYRRHA is an important part of this project. Recently, the fuel performance code MACROS-II has been developed at SCK•CEN for this goal. In the present article, some results of the preliminary modelling of a long term thermomechanical behaviour of two fuel-target pins, filled with pellets containing (Cm0.1Am0.5Pu0.4)O1.88 oxide fuel dissolved either in MgO, or in ZrO2 matrix, and placed in the MYRRHA core for 6 cycles (540 EFPD) are presented and compared with the behaviour of a driver MOX pin.",
