Two variants were proposed: a 150-500 MWe type with actinides incorporated into a metal fuel requiring pyrometallurgical processing on site; and a 500-1500 MWe type with conventional MOX fuel reprocessed in conventional facilities elsewhere. From Wordnik.com. [Fast neutron reactors (FBR)] Reference

This nuclear fuel cycle would combine two innovations: pyrometallurgical processing (a high-temperature method of recycling reactor waste into fuel) and advanced fast-neutron reactors capable of burning that fuel. From Wordnik.com. [Scientific American] Reference
Meanwhile, the batteries are sent to a facility in Germany where a pyrometallurgical distillation process is used to separate out metals such as nickel and cadmium with the residual chemicals being disposed of in accordance with chemical waste regulations.
