Self-consistent model of nuclear power development and fuel cycle

The use of a high-boiling heat-transfer metal (lead) deterministically ensures sufficient nuclear engineering, and ecological safety in design and hypothetical accidents. The transmutation nuclear fuel cycle makes global environmental safety closet; when the equivalent activity of the lon,g-lived components of hot waste is lower than, or close to, that of the raw material used. When such equality is reached, nuclear power can be considered to be waste-free, in a sense. A conceptual model envisaging a large-scale, long-term nuclear energy industry is proposed as a solution to the aforementioned problems.
