The Department of Energy (DOE), as the lead agency, is developing a program
- for the disposition of weapons grade plutonium. In its Record of Decision issued in January 1997, the DOE proposed a " dual track" approach comprised of
- innobilizing, through vitrification, some of the excess plutonium, and burning the remainder in commercial nuclear reactors as MOX. Comed in concert with i Duke Power, British Nuclear Fuels (BNFL), and Cogena has assembled a project i team to develop a plan for the possible use of M0X. The project for Plutonium l Excess Converted to Electricity (Project PEACE) will consider burning MOX at j several of their sites, specifically Byron, Braidwood, LaSalle, Catawba, l
! and McGuire. .
i If the Project PEACE team is selected as a responder to a DOE request for l proposals, scheduled to be issued in 1997, the team proposes to evaluate the 3
! perfonnance of M0X through the use of a lead test assembly (LTA) program.
i Based on successful perfonnance of the LTA, M0X fuel would be integrated as
- part of the normal core reloads. Using fuel fabricated in Europe, the j earliest LTA placement in a core would occur in late 1999; and assuming a
- successful test, inclusion of M0X in a reload would occur in late 2003.
i l The licensees' team stressed that, while weapons grade plutonium has not been j used in commercial reactors, there is a considerable amount of data on the use i of M0X in Europe obtained from the utilization of reprocessed fuels. M0X was also used as fuel in several U.S. reactors in the 1960s and 1970s. However,
{ the team acknowledged that the use of M0X as proposed in Project PEACE will
- require a license amendment supported by the appropriate safety and accident j analyses.
- During the meeting, both the staff and the Project PEACE team acknowledged that there are a number of non-technical issues (e.g. political and contractual) that will have be solved before the project can proceed. The j staff provided questions and comments for those technical areas that it i believes will have to be addressed in any request for a license amendment. At
- the conclusion of the i

meeting it was mutually agreed that as progress occurs on the use of M0X, further meetings between the staff and the Project PEACE team will be j beneficial.
