Short summary

Some alternative reactor concepts are frequently discussed in the literature as relevant for the disposal of high-level radioactive waste. We present results on the technological readiness of and research and development on those reactor concepts from a project commissioned by the Federal Office for the Safety of Nuclear Waste Management on novel reactors.
