Abstract
The effectiveness of denaturing plutonium with a /sup 238/Pu heat spike was evaluated as a safeguards deterrent for light water reactor (LWR) fuel. The aspects examined include the percentage of /sup 238/Pu denaturant required to sufficiently protect reactor-grade plutonium from national and subnational diversion attempts, the production rate of denaturant in LWRs, and logistics requirements. 12 refs.
