Safety Issues Associated With Plutonium Involvement in the Nuclear Fuel Cycle

This NATO Advanced Research Workshop draws together Russian and Western specialists in a discussion of problems associated with the safe elimination of both weapons-grade and reactor-grade plutonium in reactors. The papers generally concern safety issues associated with utilizing plutonium in the nuclear fuel cycle, including facility requirements, licensing issues, proliferation risks, and a variety of advanced concepts for nuclear fuel cycles. The book moves from a discussion of general considerations for plutonium use/disposal to cover aspects of the fuel cycle and reprocessing aspects, its use in existing and near-future reactors, and its use in advanced reactors.Parish, Theodore A. is the author of 'Safety Issues Associated With Plutonium Involvement in the Nuclear Fuel Cycle' with ISBN 9780792355939 and ISBN 0792355938.
