Feasibility Study of Minor Actinide Transmutation In Light-Water Reactors With Various Am/Cm Separation Efficiencies
… periods. The major contributors to these are the minor actinides (MA) that are contained in the UNF. The strategy of Partition and Transmutation (P&T) separates the components of UNF to treat each separated stream in the manner that is most appropriate. The MA stream can be reprocessed and …

A generalized optimization methodology for isotope management
… the trial and error approach currently used in actinide management studies in which reactors are designed and then their performance is evaluated, the methodology developed here first identified relevant fuel cycle objectives like minimizing decay heat production in a repository, minimizing …

Used Nuclear Fuel Actinide Management in a Sodium- Cooled Heterogeneous Innovative Burner Reactor
… innovative sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) for minor actinide (MA) destruction in used nuclear fuel (UNF). The destruction of MAs would reduce the radiotoxicity of the discharged waste to less than 25% of the once-through cycle after 100 years. The design can be achieved within the currently …
