Burning high-level TRU waste in fusion fission reactors

UWFDM-1155 Need for Special Burning Module in Fusion Devices to Transmute Fusion High-Level Waste

UWFDM-1270 Managing Fusion High Level Waste - A Strategy for Burning the Long-Lived Products in Fusion Devices

Fusion devices appear to be a viable option for burning their own high-level waste (HLW). We propose a novel waste management strategy to eliminate (or minimize) the HLW generated by fusion systems. The main source of the fusion HLW includes the structural materials without impurity control, recycled materials, refractory metals, and liquid breeder cleanup and reprocessing systems. The basic id...

Long-term Radioactive Waste from Fusion Reactors: Part Ii

In Part I we calculated 10 CFR 61 "Class-C" specific activity limits for all long-lived radionuclides with atomic number less than 88 (Ra). These calculations were based on the whole-body dose. We also estimated the production of these radionuclides from all naturally occurring elements with atomic numbers less than 84 (Po) in the first wall of a typical fusion reactor, and thereby derived conc...
