[2B09] Proposal for the Scenario of Radioactive Waste Reduction Utilizing Fusion Reactor

Yuki Furudate1, Hiroki Shishido1, *Noritaka Yusa1, Hidetoshi Hashizume1 (1. Tohoku Univ.)

Keywords:Transmutation, Fusion reactor, Minor actinide

Reduction of minor actinide nuclides contained in spent nuclear fuel is need from the viewpoint of long-term radiotoxicity. This study evaluates the transmutation characteristics on the basis of numerical analysis and constructs the reduction scenario assuming the introduction of fusion reactor as neutron source for the transmutation.
