DOI: 10.1016/j.nucengdes.2021.111128
Abstract: Abstract Up to now no definite internationally recognized quantitative criterion of minor actinides (MAs) transmutation efficiency was worked out, although this would be highly desirable. The absolute and relative total mass reduction of MAs are… read more here.
