Preparatory studies for separation and transmutation
Radioactive waste - Management through separation - transmutation

Studies and research to implement ST have already produced significant results, but they will need to be pursued scientifically and technically over many years in a number of areas. They already include feedback from RNRs and the current reprocessing of spent fuel, but more needs to be done to ensure the competitiveness of 4th generation reactors, whether or not they are designed for transmutation. They fall into three closely related areas.
