The study itself: "Nuclear waste from small modular reactors" [https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2111833119 https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2111833119] From the Abstract: "Here, we compare three distinct SMR designs to an 1,100-MWelec pressurized water reactor in terms of the energy-equivalent volume, (radio-)chemistry, decay heat, and fissile isotope composition of (notional) high-, intermediate-, and low-level waste streams. Results reveal that water-, molten salt–, and sodium-cooled SMR designs will increase the volume of nuclear waste in need of management and disposal by factors of 2 to 30...."
