This research should contribute to the further development of state-of-the-art critical or sub-critical fast neutron installations for transmutation. Due consideration should be given to the actual effectiveness of the transmutation process, as for example by using accelerator driven systems, as well as the safety and reliability of the facility and the demonstration of the industrial feasibility of the process. The development of innovative fuel and targets for the transmutation of minor actinides should also be considered in this proposal, as well as the development of advanced experiments and numerical simulation tools. Full advantage should be taken of existing knowledge and competence. International cooperation could be beneficial in this area.
