The HERACLES Consortium

Addressing one of the last remaining concerns in the civil nuclear fuel cycle. Europe's High Performance Research Reactors have teamed up in a common initiative, "HERACLES", to support the world-wide non-proliferation efforts by minimizing their usage of HEU material.

icon NON-PROLIFERATION

Nuclear non-proliferation is a topic that has gained much attention over the recent years. The HERACLES facilities do see the importance of this topic and therefore support the world-wide non-proliferation efforts by minimizing their need for such material.


icon OUR WORK

Uranium-Molybednum, a new high density fuel, is our answer to proliferation concerns. See where we are today and where we are going.



icon OUR PROJECTS

The HERACLES consortium has launched the HERACLES-CP, the LEU FOREvER and the EU-QUALIFY projects, which are supported by the European Union through HORIZON 2020 grants. These are three of our major efforts in the upcoming years.

We [...] encourage States to continue to minimise the use of HEU through the conversion of reactor fuel from HEU to LEU, where technically and economically feasible, and in this regard welcome cooperation on technologies facilitating such conversion.
