ABSTRACTThe potential value of Partitioning/Transmutation (P/T) strategies for high-level nuclear waste management has been investigated (one would be tempted so say “periodically”) since 1970. The basic physics phenomena are well understood, and scenarios for the fuel cycle can be imagined. However, the criteria to judge the impact of P/T are matter for discussion (and controversy). Moreover the relation to disciplines other than reactor physics can be significant (e.g. innovative fuels and Actinide chemistry).A number of key issues are revisited here and will be discussed in some detail.

ABSTRACTThe geomicrobiology of high-level nuclear waste disposal is a new field in the area of nuclear waste management. Until recently the likelihood of microbial contamination in a deep repository had not been considered, but possible biogeochemical effects of repository materials, radionuclide transport and groundwater chemistry must now be realistically assessed.This work was funded by the UK Department of the Environment and the Commission of the European Communities.
