The NEA is organising the 16th Information Exchange Meeting on Actinide and Fission Product Partitioning and Transmutation (16IEMPT) on 24-27 October 2023. The meeting will be held at the NEA offices in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, in collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The event is supported by the EU-funded PATRICIA project, the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), MYRRHA and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). Advanced nuclear fuel cycles to improve the safety, sustainability and economics of nuclear energy are under development internationally. Partitioning and Transmutation (P&T) is one of the candidate technologies to help reduce the heat, radiotoxicity and volume of radioactive waste. Recent developments indicate the need for embedding P&T strategies into advanced fuel cycles considering waste management and economic issues.

The INTRANS (Instrumentation and Training for Nuclear Spectroscopy and Reaction Dynamics) subtask takes the challenge of providing an expertise on an optimal employment of experimental setups in EURO-LABS for nuclear spectroscopy and nuclear reactions communities. Large research collaborations in those two fields are investing huge efforts and resources in developing new instrumentation (such as, e.g., the AGATA detector array, to name the most challenging one), experimental methods and techniques for front-line research at the different research centres and universities across the world. Most of these techniques are of common interest and the exchange of information as well as the pooling and maintaining of resources will be of great benefit to the whole research community and will lead to enhanced quality and scientific outputs of the experimental programs at the various research facilities.
