Magnetic fusion driven transmutation of nuclear waste (FTW)
Description
The possibility of magnetic Fusion driven Transmutation of Waste (FTW) was revisited and discussed recently. Nuclear wastes include all transuranium elements: Pu isotopes (Pu239-241), minor actinides separated from the spent fission fuel (Np237, Am241,243, Cm244, etc.), and fissile products (Tc99, I129). Elimination of these long-life nuclear wastes is necessary for the long-term viability of fission power
