China's Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program: Current Status and Long-term Strategies

Open to the Public

Although China's nuclear industry is still young and nuclear spent fuel is not a concern yet, China's strong commitment to nuclear energy and rapid pace on nuclear energy development call for analyses and strategies on China's future spent fuel management. The purpose of this presentation is to provide an overview of China's fuel cycle program, understand China's reprocessing policy and the rationality behind it, and develop strategies to manage its spent fuel in the next several decades.

Please join us! Coffee and tea provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.
