The transmutation of long-lived radionuclides is being developed as part of the Department of Energy's Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative to address disposal of commercial nuclear reactor fuel and improve the performance of the geologic repository. The transmutation program will separate the fuel into (1) a transuranium (TRU) product stream for conversion to a mixed oxide reactor fuel, (2) separate technetium-99 (99Tc) and iodine-129 (129I) streams, for conversion to targets for transmutation, and (3) a uranium (U) product stream that meets criteria for disposal as a Class C low-level waste (LLW).
