Question
Chapter 7, Problem 52Q
(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Advantages and disadvantages of using surplus plutonium in nuclear power plants have to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Plutonium is radioactive, toxic material which should be handled with maximum care. Eliminating the surplus plutonium will reduce the risk of making nuclear weapons by terrorists, because nearly eight kilogram of plutonium is sufficient for making atom bomb.
There are two methods adopted for managing the surplus plutonium. They are, using plutonium in the form oxide in nuclear power plant and burying the plutonium in deep repositories. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages.
(b)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Advantages and disadvantages of storing surplus plutonium permanently in repositories have to be explained.
