Trade-off between repository footprint and radiotoxicity in geological disposal of vitrified high-level waste from spent MOX fuels: quantitative assessment of simplified minor actinide separation

Radioactive waste management remains a critical challenge for the sustainability of nuclear energy systems, particularly for closed fuel cycles utilizing mixed oxide (MOX) fuel. MOX fuel contains significantly higher concentrations of minor actinides (MAs) and heat-generating nuc...
