IEER Report: Transmutation - Nuclear Alchemy Gamble Page 1 of 15 IEER Nuclear Alchemy Gamble: An Assessment of Transmutation as a Nuclear Waste Management Strategy By: Hisham Zerriffi and Annie Makhijani Prepared for the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research May 2000 Executive Summary Table of Contents, Full Report | Findings | Recommendations | Acknowledgements | References | Endnotes "Research on partitioning and transmutation is rather seductive to all of us. It requires new reprocessing techniques, new fuel developments, additional nuclear data, new reactors and irradiation facilities, new waste treatment and disposal concepts, and specific safety studies. The global nuclear scientific and engineering community is challenged by this opportunity." Everybody realizes however that this voyage to the promised land will pass a desert with a lot of mountains and that we are not so sure that the horizon will be as bright as one can hope." ---Paul Govaerts, SCK -CEN (Belgian Nuclear Research Center). "Welcome Address" to the Fifth International Information and Exchange Meeting on Actinide and Fission Product Partitioning and Transmutation, Mol, Belgium, 25-27 November 1998. "The [transmutation] programme is expected to serve to revitalise the nuclear R&D in general, and also to attract capable young researchers dedicated to bringing the nuclear
