Abstrakt: The report looks at basic ways of converting surplus weapons grade plutonium to MOX fuel for fast and light-water reactors. The authors give results of research under standard conditions on the physicochemical and technological characteristics of plutonium and uranium-plutonium dioxides produced by different process arrangements. A comparative analysis is made of the most advanced options for converting plutonium to MOX fuel. The paper gives a process scheme developed by the authors for conversion of weapons grade plutonium to MOX fuel for fast and light-water reactors. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
