Description

Any strategy related to radioactive waste management has to provide first a consistent answer on the Plutonium management. In fact, Plutonium build-up with standard PWRs should be accounted for and, if reprocessing is adopted, long-term solutions have to be found to use Plutonium in an effective way, and to minimise the associated minor actinide build-up. The present paper gives the results obtained for different scenarios related to a nuclear power park of 60 GWe. (authors)
