Actinide nuclear fuel cycle facilities

The fast-spectrum reactors with full recycle of actinides would be designed with on-site spent fuel reprocessing and fuel fabrication to minimize the on-site inventory of long-lived radioactive waste. Modern robotic equipment can be used for reactor refueling and for fuel reprocessing. The spent fuel reprocessing and fuel fabrication facilities must be developed to close the nuclear fuel cycle and use all the energy available in natural uranium.
