Abstract

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.
