This teaching unit covers the various aspects of the current fuel cycle and future nuclear cycles. Concepts relating to the upstream part of the cycle (mineral resources, uranium extraction and purification, isotopic enrichment), the passage of fuel through nuclear reactors and then the downstream part of the cycle (reprocessing of spent fuel, recycling of recoverable materials and remanufacturing of fuel, management of ultimate nuclear waste) will be covered. This will be followed by several aspects of future nuclear fuel cycles, including the use of non-conventional resources, advanced separation concepts and the development of fourth-generation reactors.

This course covers the main conventional membrane technologies for liquid and gas media. With regard to liquid media, baromembrane technologies such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis will be described, as well as technologies based on electrochemical potential gradients (electrodeionization) or temperature gradients (membrane distillation). Gas permeation and pervaporation for gas and/or vapor separation will also be presented. For all technologies, the question of the choice of suitable membrane materials will be addressed, and representative examples of appropriate fields of use (in line with current environmental and energy issues) will be given.
