The disposal of high-level radioactive waste from nuclear power plants is one of the major issues in worldwide for the use of a nuclear power plant. As a fundamental solution, establishment of nuclear transmutation technology, where long-lived nuclides can be converted to stable or short-lived ones, will be essential. Progress in R & D in the transmutation of long-lived fission products (LLFP) in the nuclear wastes however, has been slow.

Nuclear physics plays an essential role in addressing the treatment on LLFP, because the reliable reaction data and models are necessary for LLFP transmutation. Aiming at bringing a new invention to the nuclear transmutation on LLFP, we have systematically performed reaction studies for long-lived fission products using the advanced facilities at RIKEN RI beam factory. In the presentation, the newly obtained results on the reactions of LLFP nuclei as well as their potential for the LLFP transmutation will be discussed.
