Abstract

The National Research Council has recently issued the report of its committee that studied technologies for separations and transmutation of radioactive wastes. In Ref. 2 we discuss the theoretical transmutation performance of the transmutation concepts. In this paper we address the features that affect the deployment, system integration, and practicability of the concepts.
