2 Fuel Cycle with Minor Actinides - Homogeneous / Heterogeneous / Double Strata - Management of High Level Waste - Key for sustainable energy production Fuel Fabrication U,Pu,(Np) Reprocessing LWR/FR - Target: Np/Am/Cm & Specific FPs MA management power reactor - Homogeneous recycle to all FR - Heterogeneous recycle to selected FR FP Final disposal FP (Np), Am, Cm Partitioning Fuel Fab. Reprocessing Transmutor Second Stratum Cycle Double-strata cycle - Dedicated cycle for transmutation - Independent to upper cycle uncertainty - Demands of electricity - Transition from LWR to FR - Construction schedule - Separate desired target materials - Optimized transmutation system International Workshop for Asian Nuclear Prospect Page 2

4 Disposition of P-T cycle waste - (1) Reduction of waste forms amount - Metals & REs are vitrified into highly waste-included (30%) glass form ADS wastes 42% Metals & REs Sr-Cs Sr-Cs are stabilized into the calcined waste form - Sr and Cs are separated hydrous titanium oxide and zeolite with recovering rate over 99.6%. - Temperature of waste doesn t exceed sintering temperature (1200 C) and limitation of non P-T glass waste is applicable. - The leach rate of Sr-Cs is about 10-5 g/m 2 /day and is 100 times lower than that of glass form. International Workshop for Asian Nuclear Prospect Page 4
5 Disposition of P-T cycle waste - (2) Heat generation and storage periods - 5 yr 50 yr 130 yr International Workshop for Asian Nuclear Prospect Page W/form, limitation of the conventional repository Am-241 decay heat 45 yr 320 yr 4 W/form, limitation of the compact repository Standard grass waste requires 50 years storage for conventional repository (~44.4m 2 /form). Since heat generation retains due to 241 Am (T 1/2 =432.2 yr), glass waste can t be disposed of in the compact manner. Sr-Cs waste requires 130 years and 320 years storage for conventional and compact repository, respectively. Metals & REs waste can be disposed of in very compact configuration (~0.95m 2 /form) after 45 years storage.
6 Disposition of P-T cycle waste - (3) Reduction of repository area - 15% Repository area for unit power generation can be reduced to 15% or 1% than those of glass waste, if 130 or 320 years storage can be acceptable for Sr-Cs waste. 1% The reduction of waste leads to prolong lifetime of the repository. Facility scale of hundred-years storage for Sr-Cs waste is smaller than that of repository for the conventional glass waste* (about 20% of repository). * K.
