Latest issue of Actinide Research Quarterly onlineOctober 7, 2008
Plutonium processing at Los Alamos’s Technical Area 55 is the topic under discussion in the latest issue of Actinide Research Quarterly. The work at TA-55 supports a wide range of national programs, including stockpile stewardship, nuclear materials stabilization, materials disposition, and nuclear energy; all of the programs revolve around plutonium.
The third quarter 2008 issue of ARQ begins with a look at the early days of plutonium research during the Manhattan Project and continues with overviews of today’s modern processing activities used to convert impure plutonium into a high-purity metal.
