Meanwhile in the UK we've got 139 tons of the stuff from the Magnox program. It was disappointing to see in the Civil Nuclear roadmap to 2050 (from earlier this year) decided against making use of this tremendous resource (although the precise wording does not rule out use in MOX which is presumably an existing and so not an "Advanced Technology"). https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-nuclear-roadmap-to-2050/civil-nuclear-roadmap-to-2050-accessible-webpage https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-nuclear-roa... We are providing clarity to vendors by committing not to support the use of plutonium stored at Sellafield by Advanced Nuclear Technologies whilst high hazard reduction activities are prioritised at Sellafield. Note Plutonium from a power reactor is not "weapons grade" due to the presence of less desirable isotopes because of prolonged irradiation.
