abstract = {{Mu*STAR is a superconducting-accelerator driven, subcritical, molten-salt reactor designed to consume the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) from today’s commercial fleet of light water reactors. In the process of doing so it will: 1. generate electricity in a cost-competitive manner, 2. significantly reduce the waste-stream volume per Gigawatt-hour generated, 3. greatly reduce the radio-toxic lifetime of the waste stream. As many states and countries now prohibit licensing of new nuclear plants until a national strategy has been established for the long-term disposal of their nuclear waste, Mu*STAR can be an important enabler for new nuclear facilities. This is especially important in the light of climate change, as nuclear energy is the only carbon-free technology for a base-load generation that is readily expandable.}},
