CPD`s potential for processing the higher transuranics

Description: Hanford`s potential has been evaluated for producing higher transuranic isotopes, particularly curium-242 and curium-244. This document outlines the concepts visualized, and estimates the potential impact on CPD`s development, construction, and production programs. The irradiation program would proceed in 3 steps: production of fuel-grade plutonium, its burning to higher isotopes and alloying with Al for use in one reactor, and the separated americium irradiated to form curium-242.

Richland Five-year 02 R&D Program

Description: This program is directed to the production of higher weight plutonium isotopes and transplutonium isotopes from the irradiation of transuranic elements, particularly plutonium. Since production of Pu-238 from the irradiation of Np-237 and Am-241 is the subject of Mission 4, Pu-238 Program, it is excluded from this Mission. Specific products which are of prime interest are Cm-244 and plutonium containing a high concentration of either the Pu-240 isotope or the Pu-242 isotope. Because of the pote… more
