Russia just started burning MOX fuel with minor actinides extracted from spent fuel [1]. > Afterburning of minor actinides is the next step in closing nuclear fuel cycle, which should not only reduce the amount of nuclear waste for final isolation, but also significantly reduce its radioactivity. In the long term, it could avoid the complicated and expensive deep burial of waste [1] https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/Mixed-oxide-fuel-with-minor-actinides-produced-for https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/Mixed-oxide-fuel...
