In response to nuclear issues, the United States Department of Energy (US DOE) initiated the Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative (AFCI) in 2003, focusing on energy and waste management challenges primarily associated with spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and transuranic (TRU) wastes. SNF consists of waste from nuclear reactors post-operation, while TRU wastes contain harmful radionuclides. The US DOE's strategy involves storing these wastes in deep geological repositories at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, where risks are prevalent due to only about 1% of the fuel's toxic composition. The Transmutation Research Program (TRP) at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas aims to develop an integrated approach for waste mitigation through advanced processes that can significantly reduce waste toxicity over time. The Integrated System for Optimized PROcesses (ISOPRO) is a result of extensive research that combines chemical separation methodologies to optimize spent fuel treatment processes. This study outlines the conceptual framework and design of an object-oriented systems engineering model to facilitate the integration of these processes effectively.
