Minor actinide — Transmutation flow between 238Pu and 244Cm in LWR.[1] Fission percentage is 100 minus shown percentages. Total rate of transmutation varies greatly by nuclide. 245Cm–248Cm are long lived with negligible decay. The minor actinides are the actinide… … Wikipedia
Major actinides — is a term used in the nuclear power industry that refers to the plutonium and uranium present in used nuclear fuel, as opposed to the minor actinides neptunium, americium, curium, berkelium, and californium … Wikipedia
Nuclear fuel cycle — The nuclear fuel cycle, also called nuclear fuel chain, is the progression of nuclear fuel through a series of differing stages. It consists of steps in the front end, which are the preparation of the fuel, steps in the service period in which… … Wikipedia
Nuclear reprocessing — technology was developed to chemically separate and recover fissionable plutonium from irradiated nuclear fuel.[1] Reprocessing serves multiple purposes, whose relative importance has changed over time. Originally reprocessing was used solely to… … Wikipedia
Nuclear chemistry — is the subfield of chemistry dealing with radioactivity, nuclear processes and nuclear properties. It is the chemistry of radioactive elements such as the actinides, radium and radon together with the chemistry associated with equipment (such as… … Wikipedia
Long-lived fission product — Long lived fission products are radioactive materials with a long half life (more than 200,000 years) produced by nuclear fission. Contents 1 Evolution of radioactivity in nuclear waste 1.1 Short term 1.2 Medium lived fission products … Wikipedia

Spent nuclear fuel — Spent nuclear fuel, occasionally called used nuclear fuel, is nuclear fuel that has been irradiated in a nuclear reactor (usually at a nuclear power plant) to the point where it is no longer useful in sustaining a nuclear reaction. Nuclear… … Wikipedia
MOX fuel — Mixed oxide fuel, commonly referred to as MOX fuel, is nuclear fuel that contains more than one oxide of fissile material. MOX fuel contains plutonium blended with natural uranium, reprocessed uranium, or depleted uranium. MOX fuel is an… … Wikipedia
