Numerous of the fast reactor concepts propose to reprocess discharged LWR fuel to capture the uranium and transuranics (or only the uranium and plutonium) and to use that recovered fissile-fertile mass to supply initial working inventories for small fast reactor deployments this could provide a win-win symbiosis in managing LWR waste while fuelling small reactors with the recovered transuranics and irradiated uranium ...
