The high-level radioactive wastes (HLW) in a spent fuel reprocessing plant contain Minor actinides (MAs) and long-lived fission products (LLFPs). The aim of this program is to propose a new transmutation path for LLFPs to convert to short-livednuclides or stable ones without isotope separation and a reuse path in order to reduce amount of HLW and recycle resource materials.
