Possibility for large-scale production of 238Pu for radioisotope thermoelectrical generators in a supercritical light-water reactor

The paper analyzes the possibility for large-scale production of highly pure plutonium suitable for use in radioisotope thermoelectrical generators in a VVER-SKD light-water power reactor with supercritical coolant parameters. Neptunium dioxide (NpO2) was used as the starting material. Neptunium can...
