I've taken a little time to do another comparison slide between the waste generated in a typical light-water reactor compared to a liquid-fluoride thorium reactor. For the light-water reactor waste calculations, I used the WISE Uranium Nuclear Fuel Energy Balance Calculator and used a baseline value of 1 GW*yr of electricity production. I accepted all the defaults of the calculator, with the exception that I used a fuel burnup of 35 GW*day/MTU, and a electrical generation efficiency of 33%.
