✦ Synopsis
The SPHINX project is dealing with a solution of some principle problems of a very promising way of nuclear waste treatment, high level wastes from spent nuclear fuel in particular, by means of transmutation of radionuclides by use of a nuclear reactor with liquid fuel based on molten fluorides, which might be a subcritical system driven by a suitable neutron source. Its superiority lies also in the fact that it makes possible to utilize actinides contained, by others, in spent nuclear fuel and so to reach a positive energy effect.
