Management of Pu-242 Inventories at Oak Ridge National Laboratory
ORNL has an inventory of radioisotopes that are being managed for ongoing research programs and being held for reuse because they have potential intrinsic value to DOE. There is an increasing interest in Pu-242 by user communities. This paper describes the actions ORNL is taking to manage the inventories of Pu-242 and making it available to potential users.

Planning for Receipt of Mk-18A Recovered Nuclear Material at Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) ships and receives a wide variety of radioisotopes. These shipments will include the Mark-18A high-burnup targets, which are being processed at Savannah River National Laboratory to recover valuable isotopes that will then be shipped to ORNL for programmatic use. The Mark-18A targets will be processed to recover two products: a plutoniu…
