We propose Partitioning and Transmutation Complex (PTComplex) aiming for early realization of Partitioning and Transmutation technology. The PTComplex consists of the pyrochemical reprocessing facility and the high intensity proton accelerator. Molten salt in a tank of the pyrochemical reprocessing facility is irradiated with spallation neutrons generated by high intensity protons, and minor actinides in the molten salt are transmuted. We will introduce features of the PTComplex in the presentation.
