Transmutation and nuclear radioactive wastes management: a perspective

The disposal of radioactive waste containing highly active elements with long half-lives — especially minor actinides — has always been a major problem in the nuclear power industry. A promising new approach is to transmute them by neutron bombardment into elements that decay more rapidly, using neu...

description The disposal of radioactive waste containing highly active elements with long half-lives — especially minor actinides — has always been a major problem in the nuclear power industry. A promising new approach is to transmute them by neutron bombardment into elements that decay more rapidly, using neutrons generated in existing reactors. Preliminary trials have shown promising results.
