Thomas Gouder and colleagues are using X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and other techniques to investigate the adsorption of water ice on the surface of plutonium-dioxide (PuO2) thin-films.
Plutonium dioxide can then be reduced to metallic plutonium, for example by heating it with powdered aluminum.
UK Dalton Institute looks at ways to manage plutonium The UK-based Dalton Nuclear Institute at the University of Manchester looking at whether the UK plutonium stockpile should become waste or energy.
J. Robert Oppenheimer, subject of a new film, and the lab at Los Alamos loom large in the story of the atomic bomb. But Hanford, WA, was as crucial.
