Abstract This work analyzes advancements in nuclear energy, focusing on spent fuel reprocessing and waste disposal. Key technologies such as pyroprocessing, aqueous reprocessing, the DUPIC (Direct Use of Spent PWR Fuel CANDU) process are examined for their effectiveness reducing environmental safety risks. Pyroprocessing is highlighted its ability to enhance actinide recovery reduce volume, while PUREX demonstrates high efficiencies uranium plutonium. The integration Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) chemical kinetics modeling optimizes parameters, improving outcomes. method shows potential reactor performance minimizing waste. Long-term management strategies, dry cask storage geological disposal, also explored, with heat dissipation technologies. Innovations like autonomous passive cooling antineutrino monitoring promising security. Additionally, study highlights Generation IV reactors Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) critical energy’s impact. emphasizes continued progress address technical, economic, challenges, ensuring viability energy.
