Plutonium : blessing or curse ?

What are your feelings about plutonium ? Would you like to know more ? Belgonucleaire has been an industrial leader for more than ten years in the production of MOX, a nuclear fuel based on plutonium.

The evolution of the international market lead to the end of this activity in 2006. The plant was dismantled and in 2019, the site is totally cleared for new activities. A complete description is now (sept.2020) available in the menu : MOX plant dismantling, the slides of a conference by Jean van Vliet.

Would you like to know more about this and plutonium ? Send me your questions on amesper2@gmail.com and I'll do my best to answer them.
