TLDR
The Deep-Burn Transmuter as discussed by the authors uses ceramic-coated fuel particles that provide very strong containment and are highly resistant to irradiation, thereby allowing very extensive destruction levels (Deep Burn) in one pass, using gas-cooled modular helium reactor (MHR) technology developed for high-efficiency energy production.About:
