Amongst fission products discharged from a fission reactor, mainly iodine and technetium are considered as of primary concern. Their transmutation has been of high priority to reduce the long-term consequences of nuclear energy generation. So far little attention was given to radioactive 93Zr, but its hazard appears to be rather substantial. The importance of 93Zr transmutation is emphasized in the present paper. It is demonstrated that the fusion driven neutron source with high-flux blanket can be applied to transmute 93Zr sufficiently and resolve the problem of its accumulation within the time period of several decades.
