MYRRHA: Multi-purpose hybrid research reactor for high-tech applications

MYRRHA, a flexible fast spectrum research reactor (50-100 MWth) is conceived as an accelerator driven system (ADS), able to operate in sub-critical and critical modes. It contains a proton accelerator of 600 MeV, a spallation target and a multiplying core with MOX fuel, cooled by liquid lead-bismuth (Pb-Bi). SCK•CEN, the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre in Mol has been working for several years on the design of this multi-purpose irradiation facility.

MYRRHA applications catalogue

Sustainable fission energy: demonstrate the physics and technology of an Accelerator Driven System (ADS) for transmuting long-lived radioactive waste
Sustainable energy: development of fast spectrum reactor and fusion technology
Enabling technologies for renewable energies: production of neutron irradiated silicon
Health care: production of radioisotopes for nuclear medicine
Science: fundamental research for the generation of new expertise in various fields

MYRRHA engineering

The major components of the design and development of MYRRHA are:

The accelerator
The spallation target
The fuel element and fuel assembly design
The sub-critical core configuration
The mechanical design of the primary system and associated equipment
The remote handling systems
The building

Agenda of implementation

MYRRHA will be operational at full power around 2023. During the 2010-2014 period the following items will be accomplished: the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) and the associated R&D programme, the licensing process, the set-up of the international consortium. Construction of the facility and assembly of the components is foreseen in the period 2015-2019. Three years (2020-2022) are foreseen for the full commissioning of the facility.
