An emerging technology of Accelerator-Driven Subtritical Systems (ADSS) for nuclear transmutations is presented, as compared to the existing critical nuclear energy systems. The higher safety of subcritical ones (owed to the improbability of uncontrolled criticality) is suggested as the basic indication of their superiority over critical ones. Just that property allows for application of ADSS to destruction of nuclear waste (mainly transuranics} i.e. to achieving a closed fuel cycle. Summarising, the presented concept might facilitate social acceptance and deployment of nuclear energy.
