Short summary
Pretreatment of radioactive waste by partitioning and transmutation (P&T) in accelerator-driven systems (ADSs) has been mentioned as an approach to significantly reduce the requirements and risks associated with a – still necessary – final repository for decades. We show that the technological concept is still very much the same as the one proposed decades ago and discuss possible additional revenue from radioisotope production in transmutation facilities.
