Aspects of Spent MOX-Fuel Transports

With the decision to reprocess spent fuel the recycling of Plutonium (Pu) into thermal reactors was concluded in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), too. A demonstration programme was started in 1968 in the small PWR and BWR reactors and continued up to the end of the seventies. The large-scale technical feasibility and the economic use of reprocessed Plutonium has thereby been demonstrated.
