Plutonium

All enrichment and reprocessing facilities must be placed under multilateral control, and a complete moratorium must be declared on the enrichment of uranium and the separation of plutonium.

Third, the States parties should improve control over proliferation of sensitive parts of the nuclear fuel cycle, specifically, activities involving uranium enrichment and plutonium separation.

Proposals have been mooted to impose a moratorium on uranium enrichment and plutonium separation, to multilateralize the nuclear fuel cycle or to banish the building of new national fuel cycle facilities.

That you'd need 10 to 13 pounds of plutonium.

22. One factor that complicates the plutonium problem is the lack of an agreed policy with regard to it.

(iv) Commit themselves to expediting agreement on alternatives, consistent with the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons principles of the right to peaceful uses and the obligations for non proliferation, to the acquisition of domestic uranium enrichment and plutonium separation facilities

Now, plutonium, 10 to 13 pounds this. This is enough plutonium to create a Nagasaki size atomic weapon.

For a number of years, I have advocated the consideration of multilateral approaches to the nuclear fuel cycle, so as to address challenges posed by proliferation sensitive operations such as those related to uranium enrichment and plutonium separation.

The nuclear materials in question are plutonium, uranium, thorium, deuterium, tritium and lithium 6.

Plutonium fuel production would create enormous amounts of radioactive waste and would require the transportation of weapons grade plutonium and fresh fuel across thousands of miles of open country, creating a serious risk of railway accidents that could result in plutonium contamination of the environment.

The problem of plutonium disposal is discussed further below.

We can't.... We can't part.

Promote timely agreements to prevent the spread of uranium enrichment and plutonium separation technologies and facilities that respect fully the right to the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, as set out in the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, including alternatives such as the provision of guaranteed nuclear fuel supplies

She described the long lasting and devastating effects of four of the most dangerous elements made in nuclear power plants, namely, iodine 131, strontium 90, caesium 137 and plutonium 239, pointing out moreover that the amount of plutonium produced by each nuclear power plant in a year could be used to manufacture 40 nuclear bombs.

We're friends in need And friends in need Friends in need

Some of this plutonium comes from scrapped nuclear weapons, but the bulk stems from irradiated power reactor fuel.

Secession means breaking away from a legitimate state.

Promote timely agreement to prevent the spread of uranium enrichment and plutonium separation technologies and facilities and seek alternatives that respect fully the right to the peaceful uses of nuclear energy as set out in the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, such as the provision of guaranteed nuclear fuel supplies and other incentives

Ten reactors that had produced weapons grade plutonium have been shut down.

The excess capacities in plutonium and highly enriched uranium are staggering indeed.

2. Nuclear material means plutonium, except that with isotopic concentration exceeding 80 per cent in plutonium 238 uranium 233 uranium enriched in the isotope 235 or 233 uranium containing the mixture of isotopes as occurring in nature other than in the form of ore or ore residue or any material containing one or more of the foregoing

(b) (i) Nuclear material means plutonium, except that with isotopic concentration exceeding 80 per cent in plutonium 238 uranium 233 uranium enriched in the isotope 235 or 233 uranium containing the mixture of isotopes as occurring in nature other than in the form of ore or ore residue or any material containing one or more of the foregoing

Iran points out that some of the hydrocarbons, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, are very toxic.

This includes, in accordance with the IAEA definition, nuclear material that can be used for the manufacture of nuclear explosive devices without further adaptation or additional enrichment. This is plutonium containing less than 80 per cent plutonium 238, highly enriched uranium (HEU) and uranium 233.

The Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League was deeply troubled by the provisions of a bilateral plutonium disposition agreement between the United States of America and the Russian Federation that allowed each nation to use 34,000 kilograms of plutonium waste from nuclear warheads in civilian nuclear electric power plants.
