Pluridisciplinary Program PACE Back-end of
electronuclear cycle
Answer to the law passed in 1991 which defines
main research orientations on the management of
nuclear wastes (evaluation to be done in 2006)
o Separation and transmutation o Storage
in deep geological sites o Conditioning and
surface storage
IN2P3 focused on transmutation of nuclear wastes
and innovative systems for the future of
