Identifying Impurities in Surplus Non-Pit Plutonium Feeds for MOX or Alternative Disposition

This report provides a technical basis for estimating the level of corrosion products in materials stored in DOE-STD-3013 containers based on extrapolating available chemical sample results. The primary focus is to estimate the levels of nickel, iron, and chromium impurities in plutonium-bear- ing materials identified for disposition in the United States Mixed Oxide fuel process.
