Plutonium Forum: Exploring The Role Of Plutonium In The Nuclear Cycle
The conflict over plutonium’s future. 1980 · at the present time there is plutonium present in the environment on a global scale from weapons testing and from a satellite failure and on a local scale from nuclear operations. Plutonium has occurred naturally, but except for trace quantities it is not now found in the earth's crust. The concept of international plutonium storage (ips) has been extensively discussed during many of the international nuclear fuel cycle evaluation (infce) meetings and various proposals for. The nuclear properties of plutonium had been measured soon after its discovery and these properties showed that 239 pu was an excellent candidate for the fissile fuel for an atomic weapon.
