Feasibility studies of minor actinide(MA) transmutation in a fast reactor have been performed to achieve the following objectives : (1)Development of a fast reactor core concept loaded with MA fuel which has no serious penalties to core performance in consideration of fuel cycle technology, (2)Conception of an innovative core by utilizing the predominant properties of MA. This paper is summarized the results of the two feasibility studies of MA transmutation in a fast reactor in PNC.
