Abstract

For the recent years in the Ministry of Atomic Energy of Russian Federation the national program on RAW management has been under development. The program of actinides transmutation (as the most hazardous part of RAW) was treated as its component. According to this program various investigations within this field have been supported for the last two years. The program includes five sections dealing with actinide transmutation with the use of fast reactors.
