摘要：A liquid reactant metal alloy includes at least one chemically active metal forreacting with non-radioactive material in a mixed waste stream being treated. Thereactant alloy also includes at least one radiation absorbing metal. Radioactive isotopes

in the waste stream, including any fast neutron emitting isotopes alloy with, or dispersein, the chemically active metal and the radiation absorbing metals are able to absorb asignificant portion of the radioactive emissions associated with the isotopes. A

transmutation target fraction is included for absorbing fast neutrons and a transmutationemission absorbing fraction is provided for absorbing emissions that result from theabsorption of a fast neutron by the transmutation target fraction. Non-radioactiveconstituents in the waste material are broken down into harmless and usefulconstituents, leaving the alloyed radioactive isotopes in the liquid reactant alloy. Thereactant alloy may then be cooled to form one or more ingots in which the radioactiveisotopes are effectively isolated and surrounded by the radiation absorbing metals.These ingots comprise the storage products for the radioactive isotopes.
