| Samenvatting: | This Safety Report updates IAEA Safety Series No. 39, 'Safe Handling of Plutonium', which was published in 1974. The focus of the previous publication was on plutonium research and development facilities, which used very limited quantities of plutonium. At that time, the average burnup of fuel was much lower than it is today. With higher burnup, there are higher concentrations of 238 Pu, 240 Pu, 241 Pu and 242 Pu. Also, large amounts of weapon grade plutonium (with greater dan 90% 239 Pu) have been declared to be in excess of military requirements, and these materials may also be added to the civil plutonium inventories. This report therefore describes the effects of this wide variance in isotopic composition on storage and handling requirements. The effects of stricter standards for the exposure of personnel to radiation - which have been established since Safety Series No. 39 was published - are also described. That publication did not address criticality because it covered only laboratory scale facilities (facilities which had less than 220 g of plutonium). This report, however, describes facilities now in place or needed in the future which have large quantities of plutonium, and thus it addresses criticality issues as well. Further, because of the growing need to store plutonium for long periods of time, this reports also covers plutonium storage. Although safeguards and physical security are very important issues with respect to plutonium handling and storage, these issues are not covered in this report. |
