For the Minor Actinides (MA) separation and stable storage process from high-level wastes, it is necessary to evaluate the feasibility and applicability of a series of processes, such as solvent extraction, solidification and storage, and then to establish individual process conditions. In addition, various chemical species other than MA are included in the high-level waste. However, due to the large number of chemical species present, it is not easy to evaluate each species by testing alone, and it is necessary to evaluate nodes between processes in addition to individual processes. Then, the concept of the evaluation method of whole process and individual process using the computational science for the purpose of the commercialization with the minimum test is reported in this presentation.
