After the first check and review on the partitioning and transmutation (PT) technology by the Japan Atomic Energy Commission (JAEC) in 2000, significant progress was made in respective research areas of the partitioning, fuel fabrication, transmutation and fuel recycling in Japan. The second check and review on the PT technology was made by the JAEC in 2008-2009. The final report issued in April, 2009, mentions that the significance of the PT technology is in three points: reduction of the potential hazard, mitigation of the requirement for geological repository site, and enhancement of the options in the design of the whole system of waste disposal. The current technology levels of the PT for both FBR and ADS were evaluated. The PT technology in general is still in the basic research because of the lack of experimental data for minor actinides (MA). It was, therefore, strongly recommended to accumulate the experimental data for MA as a common basis for both FBR and ADS.
