Abstract

Given the existing inventory of U. S. spent fuel and the present rate of fuel utilization, a processing scheme and a closed fuel cycle is proposed that takes advantage of the present situation. The main advantages are a very significant delay on the need of a second repository and specialized transmutation systems. Processing first the older fuel significantly reduces the overall cost.
