Scenario Analysis for Partitioning and Transmutation (P&T) in a Phase-out Scenario

The Partitioning and Transmutation (P&T) scenarios in the SPRIN-D study address only a narrow and highly constrained case. They do not provide a transparent, reproducible nationwide system description for the treatment of the full German high-level waste inventory (HLW). Additionally key modelling parameters and interim results are only partly documented. Under the explicit assumption of hypothetical technical feasibility, based on documented parameters and literature values, this INRAG study estimates what a national implementation of a P&T scenario in Germany based on Transmutex’ START concept could entail.
