Non-Neutron Transmutation of Spent Fuel

This thesis is a scoping study to assess the feasibility of utilizing non-neutron transmutation to target Long-Lived Fission Products (LLFPs), which account for 99% of the long-term radiotoxicity of spent nuclear fuel. With half-lives ranging from 100,000 to 10,000,000 years, LLFPs pose a significan...
