'E minimis maxima' or The work of the UKAEA Laboratories at Windscale
Description
The paper describes the work carried out at Windscale's reprocessing site for thermal reactor fuels. Thermal reactor fuel behaviour is discussed, with reference to Magnox fuel, AGR fuel and water fuel. Fuel work that has application to more than one reactor system is mentioned. The plutonium studies on the development of the mixed plutonium/uranium oxide fuel for use in fast reactors is also considered. (U.K.)
