      Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy

      Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy

      The mission of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy Division (NNPD) is to promote the peaceful use of nuclear technology while simultaneously preventing the diversion and misuse of nuclear material and technology through appropriate safeguards and security, and promotion of nuclear nonproliferation policies. To achieve this mission, the objectives of the NNPD are to: Promote policy that discourages the proliferation of nuclear technology and material to inappropriate entities. Provide information to ANS members, the technical community at large, opinion leaders, and decision makers to improve their understanding of nuclear nonproliferation issues. Become a recognized technical resource on nuclear nonproliferation, safeguards, and security issues. Serve as the integration and coordination body for nuclear nonproliferation activities for the ANS. Work cooperatively with other ANS divisions to achieve these objective nonproliferation policies.

      Notes on fusion

      The ST25-HTS tokamak.

      Governments around the world have been interested in fusion for more than 70 years. Fusion research was largely secret until 1968, when the Soviets unveiled exciting results from their tokamak (a magnetic confinement fusion device with a particular configuration that produces a toroidal plasma). The Soviets realized that tokamaks were not useful as weapons but could produce plasma in the million-degree temperature range to demonstrate Soviet scientific and technical prowess to the world.

      Following this breakthrough, government laboratories around the world continued to pursue various methods of confining hot plasma to understand plasma physics under extreme conditions, getting closer and closer to the conditions necessary for fusion energy production. Tokamaks have been by far the most successful configuration. In the 1990s, the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory produced 10 MW of fusion power using deuterium-tritium fusion. A few years later, the Joint European Torus (JET) in the United Kingdom increased that to 16 MW, getting close to breakeven using 24 MW of power to heat the plasma.

Description

This multi-authored volume documents the advances in understanding of plutonium chemistry over the more than thirty years since the publication of J. M. Cleveland's The Chemistry of Plutonium, the most recent authoritative volume solely devoted to this vitally important and topical field of study. Because the advances in plutonium chemistry span a great variety of subdisciplines and no one individual could write authoritatively on all aspects, an impressive roster of internationally recognized experts in plutonium science were assembled to author the chapters.

Chapter coverage includes the history and discovery as well as the use of plutonium, plus a summary of its currently known isotopes and their nuclear properties; the electronic structure of plutonium; redox and radiolysis reactions; organometallic and nonaqueous coordination chemistry; separations chemistry; environmental chemistry; plutonium in concentration solutions; plutonium in biological systems; crystalline solids and corrosion chemistry; glass, ceramics, and composites; and future directions. In addition to the detailed technical content, Darleane Hoffman, senior editor for the volume, provides a very thoughtful summary identifying the many opportunities as well as challenges that should be addressed in both the theoretical interpretations and the experimental investigations of the fundamental properties of plutonium. Hoffman points out that these continuing efforts will not only contribute to the solution of technological and societal problems of national and international importance but will advance the fundamental knowledge of the exceedingly complex and exciting science of plutonium and the other actinides.

Advances in Plutonium Chemistry 1967-2000 is intended as an authoritative and scholarly reference for the research chemist and for professors and upper-division undergraduate and graduate students in chemistry and related disciplines.

The hardcover volume contains a 1980 foreword authored by Glenn T. Seaborg for the ANS publication Plutonium Handbook, A Guide to the Technology; a preface; 10 detailed chapters; a closing chapter by Senior Editor Darleane Hoffman; and a subject index.
