Extended plutonium irradiation
This document examines potential yields from extended irradiation of plutonium in a Hanford K reactor. The study was made using the MOFOA program on the IBM-7090 Computer. Two types of plutonium were examined -- weapons grade plutonium and plutonium from (.22 w/o U- 235) depleted uranium irradiated to an exposure of about 2000 mwd/t. Both types of plutonium were irradiated for 3 years at an assumed 80 per cent operating efficiency.
