MYRRHA: Multi-purpose hybrid research reactor for high-tech applications
MYRRHA, a flexible fast spectrum research reactor (50-100 MWth) is conceived as an accelerator driven system (ADS), able to operate in sub-critical and critical modes. It contains a proton accelerator of 600 MeV, a spallation target and a multiplying core with MOX fuel, cooled by liquid lead-bismuth (Pb-Bi). SCK•CEN, the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre in Mol has been working for several years on the design of this multi-purpose irradiation facility.

MYRRHA applications catalogue

 * Sustainable fission energy: demonstrate the physics and technology of an Accelerator Driven System (ADS) for transmuting long-lived radioactive waste
 * Sustainable energy: development of fast spectrum reactor and fusion technology
 * Enabling technologies for renewable energies: production of neutron irradiated silicon
 * Health care: production of radioisotopes for nuclear medicine
 * Science: fundamental research for the generation of new expertise in various fields

MYRRHA engineering
The major components of the design and development of MYRRHA are:
 * The accelerator
 * The spallation target
 * The fuel element and fuel assembly design
 * The sub-critical core configuration
 * The mechanical design of the primary system and associated equipment
 * The remote handling systems
 * The building

Agenda of implementation
MYRRHA will be operational at full power around 2023. During the 2010-2014 period the following items will be accomplished: the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) and the associated R&D programme, the licensing process, the set-up of the international consortium. Construction of the facility and assembly of the components is foreseen in the period 2015-2019. Three years (2020-2022) are foreseen for the full commissioning of the facility.
