Book Description
A series of parametric studies of fuel cycle costs was made to determine the effect of nuclear growth rate, delays in start of widescale recycle, fuel cycle unit costs, the period of time covered, and discount rate on the difference in fuel cycle costs attributable to recycle of uranium and plutonium. The transfer of recovered plutonium from use as fuel in light water reactors to the liquid metal fast breeder program was also the subject of analysis. Detailed analyses were made of the fuel cycle costs for the five major fuel cycle alternatives. The effect of the fuel cycle options on the safety of light water reactors and fuel cycle facilities, and on the environmental impact of light water reactors are summarized.

Book Description
Within the next decade, many thousands of U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons are slated to be retired as a result of nuclear arms reduction treaties and unilateral pledges. Hundreds of tons of plutonium and highly enriched uranium will no longer be needed for weapons purposes and will pose urgent challenges to international security. This is the supporting volume to a study by the Committee on International Security and Arms Control which dealt with all phases of the management and disposition of these materials. This technical study concentrates on the option for the disposition of plutonium, looking in detail at the different types of reactors in which weapons plutonium could be burned and at the vitrification of plutonium, and comparing them using economic, security and environmental criteria.
