Short summary
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.

Short summary
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.
