TL;DR: A literature survey of 160 published articles (1981-2021) showed that DGR is the most ideal solution for long-term storage of the PUNF, as it provides an ultimate destination in a deep underground that permanently isolates the waste from inhabitants and the environment as mentioned in this paper.

Implementation of Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm to multi-objective loading pattern optimization of a PWR reactor
TL;DR: The Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) algorithm based on behavior of gray wolves for hunting is introduced for the multi-objective LPO of a WWER-1000 core and the results demonstrate the usefulness of the GWO and confirm that theGWO has appropriate adaptability for loading pattern optimization.

Securely anchored Prussian blue nanocrystals on the surface of porous PAAm sphere for high and selective cesium removal
TL;DR: The securely anchored PB nanocrystals have been demonstrated to be selective and efficient adsorbents for sequestration of the radioactive cesium and showed an outstanding Cs+ capture ability of 374 mg/g, high removal efficiency of 85% even at low concentration of Cs+.

Current state of partitioning and transmutation studies for advanced nuclear fuel cycles
TL;DR: A general overview of the current state of partitioning and transmutation (P&T) studies for advanced nuclear fuel cycles across the world is given in this paper, where the authors show that the feasibility of most of these steps has been demonstrated in laboratory scale since the beginning of the nuclear era, however the physical-chemical and radiological properties of minor actinides make their handling considerably more complicated than standard UOX or MOX fuel.

THE TRUEX PROCESS - A PROCESS FOR THE EXTRACTION OF THE TKANSURANIC ELEMENTS EROM NITRIC AC In WASTES UTILIZING MODIFIED PUREX SOLVENT*
TL;DR: A generic transurantc (TRU) element extraction/recovery process was developed based on the use of octyl(phenyl)-N,N-diiso-butylcarbamoylmetliylphosphine oxide, 0φD(iB)CMPO, dissolved in PUREX process solvent (tribntyl phosphate, TBP, in normal paraffluic hydrocarbon, NPH) as mentioned in this paper.
