Quantum Accurate Prediction of Plutonium–Plutonium Dihydride Phase Equilibrium Using a Spin-Lattice Model [PDF]
, 2020 Plutonium-based materials are vital for use as nuclear fuels and as portable power sources for space vehicles. However, elucidating their sensitivity to hydriding corrosion represents an extreme challenge due to the toxicity of Pu as well as its ...

On the possibility to improve mixed uranium-plutonium fuel in fast reactors [PDF]
Nuclear Energy and Technology, 2020 Accumulation of plutonium extracted from the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) of light water reactors is one of the central problems in nuclear power. To reduce out-of-the-reactor Pu inventory, leading nuclear power countries (France, Japan) use plutonium in ...

High-precision isotope ratio measurements of uranium and plutonium in the environment
, 2002 A high-precision mass spectrometry method has been developed to measure 240Pu/239Pu at low concentrations in environmental samples. A reproducibility of <1% for sample sizes of > 0.5pg has been achieved using a highly sensitive and precise multi ...
