1 M3-SR Surplus Plutonium Disposition - Dilute and Dispose Approach November 28, 2017 Sachiko McAlhany, Senior Technical Advisor
2 2 Dilute and Dispose Approach o The dilute and dispose approach, also referred to as plutonium downblending, utilizes a multicomponent inhibitor to dry blend with plutonium oxide for disposal at a geologic repository. o Dilute and dispose has been successfully demonstrated with disposition of more than 4.8 MT of plutonium at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). o The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is currently using dilute and dispose to disposition 6 MT of surplus plutonium. o DOE is completing preconceptual planning and development tasks required to expand operations for future disposition of 34MT surplus plutonium.

11 11 Summary o DOE is actively pursuing activities required to disposition surplus plutonium (i.e., 6MT non-mox materials) using the dilute and dispose approach. o DOE is currently performing preconceptual planning and development scope to increase the dilute and dispose capability. o DOE is also planning to establish additional container characterization, storage and shipping capability to support dilute and dispose operations.
