An overview of future sustainable nuclear power reactors by Poullikkas, Andreas

“…Generation IV reactors, which are future designs that are currently under research and development, will tend to have closed fuel cycles and burn the long-lived actinides now forming part of spent fuel, so that fission products are the only high-level waste. Relative to current nuclear power plant technology, the claimed benefits for generation IV reactors include nuclear waste that lasts a few centuries instead of millennia, 100-300 times more energy yield from the same amount of nuclear fuel, the ability to consume existing nuclear waste in the production of electricity and improved operating safety. …”
