Abstract
The disposition of weapons grade plutonium is of pressing and evolving international concern. The Washington Public Power Supply System, as an interested observer in this important policy debate, is evaluating a unique proposal for the disposition of the nation’s excess weapons grade plutonium. We believe that the Supply System’s concept offers a means of addressing plutonium disposition needs in a safe, cost-effective, and immediate manner — one which builds on current plutonium disposition efforts and paves the way for further international progress on weapons disposal.
