Table 7

Waste per unit energy: comparison (chain composed of 1 GCFR “E”, 1.3 PBMR-400, 0.806 LWR).

	LWR 1000	PBMR-400	GCFR “E”	Integrated cycle
FP [g/year]	9.67×10^5	2.34×10^4	1.33×10^5	1.12×10^6
Am [g/year]	1.19×10^4	9.93×10^3	4.48×10^4	6.66×10^4
Cm [g/year]	9.23×10^2	2.34×10^3	8.37×10^3	1.16×10^4
Thermal Energy [TWh/year]	21×39	4.56	21.02	46.97
Electric Energy [TWh/year]	7.06	2.19	10.09	19.34
Ratio waste/energy^∗ [g/TWhth]	1.13×10^6	7.83×10^3	8.87×10^3	2.56×10^4
Ratio waste/energy^∗ [g/TWhe]	3.43×10^6	1.63×10^4	1.85×10^4	6.23×10^4

∗This results is obtained considering 30 t/years of SNF for LWR (OTTO cicle).
