Thermodynamics of Neptunium and Plutonium and in 2003 as the first Update on the Chemical Thermodynamics of Uranium, Neptunium … is the second update of the critical reviews published, successively, in 1992 as Chemical Thermodynamics of Uranium, in …, Plutonium, Americium and Technetium. A team, composed of nine internationally recognised experts, has critically reviewed all …

Environmental activities in uranium mining and milling are becoming increasingly important owing to: - the stricter … number of uranium production facilities which have been taken out of operation recently; - and, the restoration and … overview of environmental activities related to uranium production based on survey responses from 29 countries. It discusses …

Although the recycling of plutonium as thermal mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel in pressurised water reactors (PWRs) is now well … plutonium can effectively be recycled in a PWR. This report describes in particular an exercise based on a realistic, multiple …-recycle scenario, which followed plutonium through five generations of recycling in a PWR. It considered both a standard PWR design …

critical review of the thermodynamic properties of thorium, its solid compounds and aqueous complexes, initiated as part of the … consistency not only within the recommended data sets of thorium, but also amongst all the data sets published in the series. This …

The OECD/NEA Working Party on the Physics of Plutonium Fuels and Innovative Fuel Cycles (WPPR) conducted a physics code … benchmark test for the recycling of plutonium as PuO2/UO2 mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel in boiling water reactors (BWRs) compared to …
