nFREDMANS aims to increase safety and efficiency in both nuclear power production as well as the recycling of spent fuel. Changing from oxide fuel to a more fissile dense material with higher thermal conductivity can enhance both safety of operation and the economic impact of nuclear power. At the same time, a transition to a greenersociety with respect to both the generation and usage of electricity will drastically increase consumption of finite materials. Generation is predicted to increase by 16?20 times, in particular as electrification replaces the direct use of fossil fuels for heating and transportation. The nuclear industry can mitigate their part of the resource use through the recycling of spent nuclear fuel. This can enhance the actual power output by about 20 times. However, today there has been no full industrial demonstration of the complete recycling of nuclear fuel, although one time recycling, including of plutonium, has been used on large scale for many years e.g. in France. The model fuel is nitride fuel. It may be more energy efficient/economically advantageous to recycle not only the fissile material, but also the required isotopically enriched N-15 that is otherwise currently a costly raw material. The project sets objectives that address the overall goals of the SET plan, SNETP and EERA JPNM SRA to answer the specific aims of this call relating to the safety of advanced fuels and their recyclability, in particular nitrides highlighted in the call. We will prove that advanced fuels are a viable option for industrial use that can enhance the safety, sustainability and economics of nuclear power operation. The work packages are: Advanced Manufacturing, Recyclability, Waste Management, and Industrial Applications. Across all these WPs, the crucial aspect of safety is held in high focus.As the real safety of future nuclear systems is achieved through well educated people, an extensive Training & Education work package is includedo project summary

nFREDMANS旨在提高核电生产以及乏燃料回收的安全性和效率。从氧化物燃料转变为具有更高导热性的易裂变致密材料，可以提高核电的运行安全性和经济影响。与此同时，在发电和用电方面向绿色社会的过渡将大大增加对有限材料的消耗。预计人口将增加16？尤其是在电气化取代了直接使用化石燃料供热和运输的情况下。核工业可以通过回收用过的核燃料来减少其部分的资源使用。这可以将实际功率输出提高约20倍。然而，尽管包括钚在内的一次性回收已经大规模地使用了许多年，例如在法国，但今天还没有对核燃料的完全回收进行充分的工业论证。模型燃料为氮化物燃料。不仅回收可裂变材料，而且回收所需的同位素富集的N-15可能更节能/在经济上更有利，否则目前这是一种昂贵的原料。该项目设定了目标，以解决SET计划、SNETP和EERA JPNM SRA的总体目标，以回答与先进燃料的安全性及其可回收性有关的具体目标，特别是在呼叫中强调的氮化物。我们将证明先进燃料是工业使用的可行选择，可以提高核电运行的安全性、可持续性和经济性。工作包包括：先进制造、可回收性、废物管理和工业应用。在所有这些WPs中，安全的关键方面都受到高度关注。由于未来核系统的真正安全是通过受过良好教育的人员来实现的，因此在项目摘要中包含了一个广泛的培训和教育工作包
