Abstract:
The back-end of the fuel cycle for the High Temperature Reactor (HTR) isdiscussed. The volume and the activity of waste (i.e. the spent fuel
elements) produced are calculated. The reprocessing of HTR fuel and the
possibilities for waste reduction are discussed. The "1"4C that is produced
by a HTR is evaluated and compared with other reactor types. Finally, a
comparison of the radiological consequences for direct disposal of HTR waste
versus reprocessed LWR waste is made. 4 figs., 7 tabs., 6 refs., 2 appendices
