Uranium Disposition Efforts at Los Alamos National Laboratory
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
Summary: Doing uranium work in a plutonium facility has challenges: NDA is geared to plutonium, Pu contamination, DU discards. The future volume of the feed stream to UED is dependent on pit disassembly. The dilute and dispose Pu disposition option will cause the HEU stream to grow significantly. Shipping HEU metal directly to Y-12 is a long term goal.
