#1 sounds awesome, our senior design project was on continuous pyroprocessing of HLW SNF in order to retrieve the remaining enriched Uranium while leaving the rest as proliferation-resistant waste. I'm not sure what techniques you are using (UREX?) to extract the LE uranium for reuse -- but I assume the "main concern with reprocessing" you're hinting at is the extraction of proliferation-enabling material as well. If you're doing #2 then I am wondering how much reprocessing you are really having to do at all. 2) True waste elimination - I am very curious how you are able to do so. It seems like a very big neutron poison for fast neutrons. I'm not sure if you're using a thermal/fast reactor with gas/molten salt/water as the cooling material. I will await for the NRC filings, I suppose! 3) Best of luck!
