or ~4 nuclear fission power plants output waste. We assume one fission plant generates 10 kg of TRU.
The modular and scalable laser driven neutron source will allow for a subcritical operation which places the burden on the neutron source however ensure absolute safety.
Figure 10: Cross section cut of the transmutator for simulation purposes. Tank with radius R1 contains the mixture of TRU/FLiBe/FP as well as the 14 MeV neutron source, R2 is the radius of the neutron reflector.
Figure 11: Result of MCNP simulation showing 60 kg TRU incinerated and 21 kg of Pu created through capture and decay. Overall the transmutator removed 40 kg of TRU waste per year at this 100MW operation model.
