The transmutation of long-lived fission products by neutron irradiation

摘要: A general physical approach and simplified algorithm have been developed that allow utilities to choose their strategy for treatment of the most dangerous long-lived fission products (either incinerate under neutron flux or store in underground repository) as well assess overall consumption needed incineration a fast spectrum. It has demonstrated if nuclear power can solve transuranic (TRU) waste transmutation problems be able toxic nuclides, such Tc, 1, Cs (it demands ∼0.15 n/fission all these nuclides without isotopic separation), then long-term radiotoxicity repository will not exceed initial uranium fuel. This is one important criteria radiologically clean concept. Hence, apart from TRU problems, emphasis now on product incineration.
