Sellafield's Plutonium Management

Sellafield's Plutonium Management involves safely handling and storing plutonium produced from nuclear reactors. The site manages existing stockpiles to prevent security risks and environmental harm through secure storage and monitoring. It also explores options like converting excess plutonium into safer forms or recycling it into mixed oxide (MOX) fuel for reactors. The goal is to responsibly manage nuclear materials, reduce proliferation risks, and support the UK's nuclear fuel cycle, all while adhering to strict safety and security standards to protect people and the environment.
