Abstract

ABSTRACTThe potential value of Partitioning/Transmutation (P/T) strategies for high-level nuclear waste management has been investigated (one would be tempted so say “periodically”) since 1970. The basic physics phenomena are well understood, and scenarios for the fuel cycle can be imagined. However, the criteria to judge the impact of P/T are matter for discussion (and controversy). Moreover the relation to disciplines other than reactor physics can be significant (e.g. innovative fuels and Actinide chemistry).A number of key issues are revisited here and will be discussed in some detail.
