“…Since In 2012 and 2014, the plant successfully reprocessed eight fuel assemblies with mixed uranium-plutonium oxide (MOX) spent fuel of BN-600 with a burnup of 73-89 GW day/t and a cooling time of about 20 years. At the same time, no significant losses of plutonium to waste were recorded, the plutonium content in the raffinate was less than 0.1 mg/L, and no plutonium was found in the insoluble residues [20,24].…”

Nuclear power is a highly concentrated energy source that does not emit greenhouse gases and does not affect the climate. In the future, it should hold a significant share in the world energy balance, but this possibility is realized only if the technological problems of closing the nuclear fuel cycle like minimizing the radioactive waste generated and multi-recycling of fissile isotopes are solved. This will make it possible to solve both ecological and economic problems, moving away from deep disposal of long-lived radionuclides to their transmutation, followed by near-surface disposal of short-lived radionuclides.
