The Chemical Technology Division of ORNL has prepared a set of documents that evaluate a partitioning-transmutation (PT) fuel cycle relative to a reference cycle employing conventional fuel-material recovery methods. The PT cycle uses enhanced recovery methods so that most of the long-lived actinides are recycled to nuclear power plants and transmuted to shorter-lived materials, thereby reducing waste toxicity. Data pertaining to the long-term risk analysis of waste generated from the PT fuel cycle are presented. (DC)
