Np-237 transmutation effectiveness in the QUINTA setup depends on beam particle type and energy. The challenging nature of Np-237, with a long half-life and accumulation in nuclear waste, necessitates fission for disposal. Neutron capture results in the production of other actinides, making fission

Americium poses challenges in safe disposal due to its high radiation and volatility. However, through transmutation into other nuclides, such as 242Cm and 238Pu, it can be efficiently burned in fast reactors, offering a solution for clean energy production. Heterogeneous burning is preferred for it
