Construction of the 22 MWt Rapsodie started in 1962 and it went critical in 1967. CEA’s recent decision confirms reports in the Japanese press last November that the French government had informed Japan it would halt their joint development of ASTRID. 2639 0 obj <> endobj ASTRIDの研究開発と検討への参加 建設における包括的協力プログラム ナトリウム高速炉に関する日本 France has a history of failed fast reactor projects. According to the Court of Auditors, nearly €738 million ($811m)  had been invested in this plan by the end of 2017, including nearly €500 million as a large loan from the Investments for the Future programme. Japan cancelled its own €7.8 billion Monju prototype fast-breeder project in 2016 due to heavy costs and had viewed ASTRID as central to its plans to recycle used fuel.ASTRID, a sodium-cooled fast reactor prototype was to be built at the Marcoule nuclear site in the Gard to make possible the use depleted uranium and plutonium as fuel in order to reuse used fuel mostly stored at the La Hague site, operated by Orano (formerly Areva). "We saw preparatory projects stop, and we saw that financing for the prototype no longer appeared in the budgets," said Didier Guillaume, CFDT central union delegate at CEA. It was a pool-type liquid-metal fast breeder reactor cooled with liquid sodium. ASTRIDともんじゅに関わる フランスと日本の協力 | PAGE 10 3つの分野での協力 1. ASTRID の燃料 2. A few other countries, including China and India, have operational experimental installations with fast-breeder reactors. Some design studies still in progress will continue this year but will be shelved after the 25-person unit coordinating the programme was closed in the spring. In 2010, Astrid was granted a €652 million ($742 million) budget. L' Institut Mines-Télécom est un établissement public dédié à l'enseignement supérieur et la recherche pour l'innovation dans les domaines de l'ingénierie et du numérique. Japan viewed Astrid as central to its plans to recycle spent nuclear fuel and was expecting to cooperate with France on the project in order to continue its own research into fast breeder reactors. フランスにおける 高速炉（ASTRID）について 日本原子力研究開発機構 佐賀山 豊 平成26年3月12日 自由民主党 資源・エネルギー戦略調査会 放射性廃棄物処分に関する小委員会

This technology has been the subject of numerous projects throughout the world, which has led to more than 400 reactor years of operation, including 100 years of industrial operation.
ASTRID (Advanced Sodium Technological Reactor for Industrial Demonstration) was a proposal for a 600 MW sodium-cooled fast breeder reactor (Generation IV), proposed by the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique (CEA). At the end of 1967, its power was increased to 24 MWt, and in 1970, after core redesign, to 40 MWt. In France, studies are being led by the CEA via the ASTRID project, which will benefit from the oper… CEA told Le Monde that "the project to build a prototype reactor is not planned in the short or medium term" but will be deferred until " the second half of the century”.


ASTRID was to be the successor to France’s three experimental fast reactors – Rapsodie, Phenix, and Superphenix – all of which have been decommissioned. endstream endobj Astrid was also expected to reduce the amount of long-lived nuclear waste.
