Determination of procedures for transmutation of fission product wastes by fusion neutrons. Volume 1. Final report

Creators

Description

EPRI has funded several research projects to study the use of fusion neutrons for disposing of radioactive wastes. This report summarizes some of the research results and attempts to put fusion-based transmutation disposal into perspective. Specific areas which are addressed include: (1) the chemical separations needed, (2) the types of fusion reactors required, (3) the effectiveness of transmutation for reducing toxicity, and (4) the cost of developing and implementing the transmutation based disposal system
