General profile
MYRRHA, is a highly innovative and multidisciplinary research infrastructure allowing:
- Testing and developing the transmutation of long-lived and highly radiotoxic nuclides in spent fuel to significantly reduce their volume (by a factor of 100) and radiotoxicity duration (from hundreds of thousands of years to a few centuries – a factor of 1,000).
- Serving as an Experimental and Technological Test Platform for SMR technologies, particularly those based on HLM technology
- Conducting materials R&D for current and future nuclear fusion and fission reactors
- Ensuring the production of innovative medical radioisotopes that are crucial for cancer therapy
- Providing a multifunctional accelerator for fundamental and applied research.
