Partitioning and Transmutation (P&T) technology is to separate elements in high level radioactive waste discharged from the reprocessing plant depending on intended use to transmute long-lived nuclides to short-lived or stable ones.
Partitioning and Transmutation (P&T) technology is to separate elements in high level radioactive waste discharged from the reprocessing plant depending on intended use to transmute long-lived nuclides to short-lived or stable ones.
For the transmutation, the following two methods which utilize a fast reactor or an Accelerator-Driven System (ADS) are investigated. Here, we focus on P&T technology with ADS.
P&T technology aims to reduce the burden of the geological disposal by the partition of wastes and the transmutation of long-lived nuclides.
An Accelerator-Driven System (ADS) can efficiently transmute minor actinoids. We aim at building Transmutation Experimental Facility (TEF) for research and development with use of J-PARC accelerator.
