Fusion-driven transmutation of elemental palladium-fission product

The paper deals with transmutation of elemental palladium separated from the spent fuel of fission reactors into the stable isotopes of silver and cadmium. The most efficient transmutation environment is achieved with resonance neutron spectrum in a blanket of fusion-driven transmuter. Three types of plasma conditioning are considered: DT-plasma with equal fractions of deuterium and tritium, DT-plasma with reduced tritium fraction and pure DD-plasma.
