Around 2003/4 the US decided to buy up all the worlds depleted weapons grade uranium and plutonium (spent Nuclear Fuel, SNF) and reprocess it and pelletize it into power generation grade. I worked on the (Mixed OXide) MOX box program for Savannah River. My design was approved however it was shutdown. The US bought the plans for the MOX from the French.

I also worked on centering Boronated Carbide (B4C) the buffer rod in a reactor that are in SNF dry storage containers in a few states where reactors are. B4C is only made in a few places and can only have a ppm of 0 for a reason.

I also worked on the Stellarator project.

There is so much the general population doesn't even know about that goes on in the government and elsewhere. Alot of nerdy reading, but I had to create a lot of it. Many people are trying to find ways to dispose of the past decisions and find new alternatives that are clean and non-impactful to the environment. I am in favor of preserving the environment in more ways than one. Some don't give a shit about it and it's evident here.
