Short summary

Several countries consider partitioning and transmutation (P&T) to be a useful supplement to the widely accepted storage of high-level radioactive waste in deep geological disposal. In addition to the technical feasibility, implementation of a P&T fuel cycle poses significant proliferation risks.
