Report by an Expert Group

ISBN : 978-92-64-13265-1

This study was undertaken with three primary objectives:

  • to set out simply and clearly the facts about plutonium and its present and future civil use;
  • to explain the factors that influence decisions on the use or non-use of plutonium fuel in thermal reactors; and
  • to illustrate how economic and material flow assessments of alternative fuel choices can be undertaken with stress on the situation over the next ten years.
