Abstract
In the following presentation it is assumed that in the frame of the Start agreements warheads will be dismantled into their components at a rate close to 2000 per year and that an increasing quantity of highly enriched uranium and military grade plutonium will be isolated in the coming years. It is difficult to predict precisely how much and when this material will be available but it is anticipated that after the year 2000 significant quantities have to be stockpiled.
Results of a study contract carried out on behalf of the European Commission, Directorate General for Energy, by Nuclear Fuel Experts S.A. (FEX), Brussels, Belgium in cooperation with NUSYS, Paris, France.
