For the sustainable use of nuclear energy, it is essential to reduce the volume of high-level waste for the effective use of limited disposal sites and to use effectively degraded Pu of pul-thermal spent fuel. For this purpose, it is necessary to determine and operate appropriate management policies and KPI (Key Performance Indicators) for the recovery, storage, and utilization of actinides in the elements such as power reactors, reprocessing, and fuel production which constitute the fuel cycle.
