Vladimír Šebian - Vladimír Nečas - Petr Dařílek

   This study deals with a specific way of transmutation process, decreasing the amount of long-lived and high-active radionuclides. The goal of the work is to analyse the change of the critical radionuclides concentration (critical from the point of view of radioactive waste management) during burn-up process in LWR.

Keywords: transmutation, spent nuclear fuel, radionuclides, combined fuel assembly
