In order to increase the effectiveness of minor actinide partitioning and transmutation (MA P&T) technology, the basic research has carried out for the realization of flexible waste management method which stores the stable and dissolvable form of the high level waste (HLW) until the completion of the MA P&T technology. This paper reports the evaluation results for the reduction effects of HLW radiotoxicity and volume toward fuel cycle status changes.
