Description

This paper compared characteristics of high level waste issued from the reprocessing of high burn up fuel (HTC) and mixed oxide (U-Pu)O2 fuel (MOX) with the reprocessing waste of standard PWR fuel. The alpha activity, thermal power, oxides contents of fission products and actinides are discussed. How the waste management is influenced by these types of fuel and the future improvements in the conditioning is examined
