The transmutation of long-lived fission products through spallation induced by light nuclides was investigated for the purpose of determining the feasibility of this approach for long-lived fission products, in both economic and environmental terms. The cross-section data were obtained from the TALYS Evaluated Nuclear Data Library (TENDL). A thick target model was used to study the consumption of the target isotopes in the transmutation process. The transmutation yield was calculated using the highest beam intensity available with the China initiative accelerator-driven system. It was found that the light nuclide-induced spallation reaction can significantly reduce the radio toxicity of the investigated long-lived fission products. Using the transmutation target made of elemental LLFP and the proton beam with an intensity of 5 mA, the consumption of Sr-90, Zr-93, Pd-107, or Cs-137 can reach approximately 500 g per year.
