DISCUSSION

Chapters 2 through 10 provide technical information to assist in safely managing plutonium

operations. The topics covered are those considered by representatives of many of DOE's

plutonium facilities to be most beneficial: Manufacture, Properties and Hazards, Radiation

Protection, Contamination Control, Internal Dosimetry, External Dose Control, Nuclear

Criticality Safety, Waste Management, Emergency Management, and Decontamination and

Decommissioning. Appendixes B and C summarize information from other documents that

are useful for reference: Plutonium in Department of Energy Facilities, and Facility Design.
