Abstract

ABSTRACT
In this paper, I discuss and show the advanced computing and physical methods to
calculate Pu inside the nuclear reactors and glovebox and the different solutions to
be used to overcome the difficulties that affect on safety parameters and on reactor
performance, and analysis the consequences of plutonium management on the
whole fuel cycle like Raw materials savings, fraction of nuclear electric power
involved in the Pu management. All through two types of scenario, one involving a
low fraction of the nuclear park dedicated to plutonium management, the other
involving a dilution of the plutonium in all the nuclear park.
