Plutonium Metal Target Fabrication Capability at PNNL for JASPER Program
Sector: Nuclear • Location: Richland, Washington, United States
Source: Newswise
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) established a new capability to fabricate and characterize plutonium metal experiment targets to support the Joint Actinide Shock Physics Experimental Research (JASPER) program. This capability involves processing plutonium metal targets approximately the size of a dime for shock physics experiments that study plutonium behavior under extreme conditions

Description
Description | Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) established a new capability to fabricate and characterize plutonium metal experiment targets to support the Joint Actinide Shock Physics Experimental Research (JASPER) program. This capability involves processing plutonium metal targets approximately the size of a dime for shock physics experiments that study plutonium behavior under extreme conditions. A new glovebox was installed at PNNL's Radiochemical Processing Laboratory to facilitate this work, and the team has increased production output since initial fabrication in 2024. |
