Executive Summary The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency Information Exchange Meeting on Actinides and Fission Products Partitioning and Transmutation, organised since 1990, is a forum for experts to present and discuss the state-of-the-art development in the field of P&T. Thirteen meetings have been organised so far and held in Japan, the United States, France, Belgium, Spain, the Republic of Korea and the Czech Republic. This 13th meeting was hosted by Seoul National University (Seoul, Republic of Korea) and was organised in co-operation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the European Community (EC). The meeting covered strategic and scientific developments in the field of P&T such as: fuel cycle strategies and transition scenarios, the role of P&T in the potential evolution of nuclear energy as part of the future energy mix; radioactive waste management strategies; transmutation fuels and targets; advances in pyro and aqueous separation processes; P&T specific technology requirements (materials, spallation targets, coolants, etc.); transmutation systems: design, performance and safety; impact of P&T on the fuel cycle; fabrication, handling and transportation of transmutation fuels. A total of 103 presentations (39 oral and 64 posters) were discussed among the 110 participants from 19 countries and 2 international organisations. The meeting consisted of one plenary session where national and international programmes were presented followed by 5 technical sessions: • Fuel Cycle Strategies and Transition Scenarios. • Transmutation Systems and Infrastructures. • Waste Management for P&T Scenarios. • Advanced Nuclear Fuel Recycling (Aqueous and Pyroprocessing). • Transmutation Fuels and Targets.
