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.
