- Uranium and Plutonium: Macro-economic Study, Final Report , UK Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, June 2007 (396k PDF )
[The study provides an
economic analysis of potential future disposition options for the
UK's significant stock of nuclear materials. These materials
(Uranium and Plutonium, in a variety of physical and chemical
forms) have arisen principally from uranium enrichment, nuclear
fuel manufacture and used nuclear fuel reprocessing. They could
be immobilised and disposed of, stored over the long term, sold or
converted to fuel to be re-used in nuclear power stations.]
