Objective
Partitioning and Transmutation (P&T) as well as reduced generation of long-lived radiotoxic waste by advanced fuels and/or advanced reactors may significantly reduce the burden associated to radioactive waste management, possibly simplifying the final repository requirements and, for those countries pursuing nuclear energy programs in the future, contributing to sustainability of this source of energy. The objective of the RED-IMPACT project is to assess the effects of reduction nuclear waste generation and partitioning and transmutation expressed in technical terms of the benefits and disadvantages for waste management and geological disposal. In particular the source term contained on each waste stream, including all secondary wastes, of characteristic nuclear fuel cycle concepts will be assessed. These source terms will be a basis for performance assessment studies of existing (or modified) geological repository concepts. The sensitivity and uncertainties studies will be performed in order to quantify precision of the project results and to identify parameters and data significantly contributing to uncertainties. Environmental, economical and societal aspects of reduction of nuclear waste generation and P&T technologies will be assessed and special attention will be put to dissemination of the results and communication with non-technically inclined general public. The system studies on successive deployment of P&T will respect the individual nuclear policies and waste management approaches in the different European countries to identify those fuel cycles and nuclear systems offering most benefits in terms of environmental, social and economics aspects as well as for sustainable and safe energy supply on a national or European level and to quantify their performance and associated waste streams. RED-IMPACT is a project merging two project proposals: FP6-002408 - IMPACT and FP6-508834 - REDACT retaining a number 002408
