Abstract (VO)
Résumé

The major technological aspects of fuels and targets for the transmutation of minor actinides are discussed. The changes in the fuel properties, the effects on the fabrication processes and the irradiation behaviour caused by recycling of minor actinides (compared to conventional uranium-based fuel) are outlined. The most promising developments are identified.

Les principaux aspects technologiques relatifs aux combustibles et cibles pour la transmutation des actinides mineurs sont discutés. Les modifications des propriétés du combustibles, ainsi que les conséquences du recyclage des actinides mineurs sur les procédés de fabrication et sur le comportement sous irradiation (par comparaison avec les combustibles conventionnels basés sur l'uranium) sont décrites. Les développements les plus prometteurs sont identifiés.
