Conference Article: Status of transmutation

Koch, L. (Commission of the European Communities, Karlsruhe (Germany). European Inst. for Transuranium Elements)

Abstract

The objectives and the proposed schemes for partitioning and transmutation of long-living radiotoxic nuclides are discussed. In particular, the constraints for the efficiency of a P and T process guiding R and D work for a fast reactor fuel cycle are described.
