Description

The problem of incineration of the most hazardous long-lived radiowastes (minor actinides, iodine-129 and technetium-99) is analyzed. It is concluded that large-scale nuclear energy system based on thermal and improved fast reactors supplemented with accelerator-driven blanket facilities can be characterized by safety, self-sustaining and capability to incinerate the most hazardous long-lived radiowastes.
