Long-Lived Nuclear Waste

Long-lived nuclear waste is a class of nuclear waste known for having an average half-life that is somewhat long, usually because the constituent radioisotopes are transuranic elements or other neutron capture products. There are 4 sub-classes of this type of waste, one for each radioisotope that it derived from, those being thorium-232, uranium-233, uranium-235, neptunium-237, and schrabidium-326. All of which have decayed variants. It can be placed into a nuclear waste disposal drum or radiation-powered engine to decay and get different products.

Production

(All types are extracted from spent fuel using a SILEX.)

Thorium-232 type comes from ThMEU fuel.
Uranium-233 type comes from highly enriched uranium-233 fuel.
Uranium-235 type comes from medium enriched uranium, NU, MOX, and highly enriched uranium-235 fuel.
Neptunium-237 type comes from medium and highly enriched neptunium-237 fuel.
Schrabidium-326 type comes from any schrabidium fuel, in the appropriate quantities given the Sa-326 proportion in the fuel.
