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

This course will cover the main conventional membrane technologies in liquid and gas media. Concerning the liquid medium, baromembrane technologies such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis will be mainly described, but also those based on electrochemical potential gradients (electrodeionization) or temperature (membrane distillation). In addition, gas permeation and pervaporation for the separation of gases and/or vapors will also be presented. For all the technologies, the question of the choice of the adapted membrane materials will be addressed and representative examples of appropriate fields of use (in connection with the current environmental and energy problems) will be given.
