Annotation	Actinides in the spent nuclear fuel remain radiotoxic and emit large quantities of heat for 100,000s of years while they are stored in the deep earth depository. Transmuting the actinides allows us to shorten the duration of the storage, reduce the volume of the storage and potentially allow for a shallow earth burial. Furthermore, transmuting the actinides eliminates proliferation of nuclear weapon-grade materials. The societal benefit of the transmutation project is to lower storage requirements and eliminate nuclear weapon proliferation. To achieve this mission the Laser-Based Transmutation project is divided into four pillars: (1) Laser-driven neutrons and laser monitoring, (2) Neutronics, (3) First wall materials, and (4) Chemistry. A successful integration of all pillars can deliver a working prototype Transmutator.
