Physics and Fuel Performance of Reactor-Based Plutonium Disposition Workshop Proceedings - Paris, France, 28-30 September 1998

Following recent disarmament agreements, the Russian Federation and the USA have declared part of their stockpiles of weapons-grade plutonium as a surplus to their national defense needs. This material needs to be disposed of, and one of the suggested means of doing so is burning it in existing reac...
