Study of plutonium oxide heat generation in a wood moderated container /

The generation of heat due to the radioactive decay of plutonium in the form of plutonium dioxide stored in wooden containers is considered. The results of two experiments in which plutonium dioxide is placed inside wooden blocks and the temperature rise measured at various points is reported. Heat transfer calculations are then performed to show that the data obtained are those which would be expected, i.e., that Fourier's Law adequately describes the situation. The heat build up in a proposed wood moderated shipping container is calculated, using some of the assumptions verified in the described experiments.

Plutonium oxide shipping packages /

This report describes part of a program carried out by the Rocky Flats Division of the Dow Chemical Company for the Division of Nuclear Materials Management (Atomic Energy Commission), to develop procedures and containers which would permit the shipment of plutonium oxide without shipper-receiver discrepancies. This report covers the design, testing and evaluation of plutonium oxide shipping packages.
