Figure 1: The radiotoxicity of the spent nuclear fuel may be reduced from the level of no reprocessed case to a level reduced by about 1000 times if we transmute the spent fuel. This is why the substantial benefit may be gained by the transmutation. [10],[11]
waste from ~10,000s years to 100s years; i.e., time to bring the radiotoxicity to the level of naturally occurring uranium. Any transmutation path will be supplemented with storage of remaining waste. However, storage size and required duration is greatly decreased.
In Secs. 2-7 we present “our toilet” of nuclear waste where we highlight a series of inventions pertaining to a scenario, i.e. our particular transmutation approach. While we believe that this particular scenario constitutes most transformative path of this purpose; however, each or a combination of these innovations and their cross pollination to other technologies may give rise to other scenarios (e.g. test stand for molten salt Gen IV, various fuels or wastes, supercritical vs. subcritical operation). Our particular scenario embraces fields of nuclear science, neutronics, material science, laser monitoring and laser-driven processes, fusion-induced neutrons, molten salt, spent fuel separation, etc. We are also open to a possibility of the future that this transmutator efforts may become a part/piece/component in the overall nuclear spent
