Time dependent heat transfer of proliferation resistant plutonium
Increasing proliferation resistance of plutonium by way of increased 238Pu content is of interest to the nuclear nonproliferation and international safeguards community. Considering the high alpha decay heat of 238Pu, increasing the isotopic fraction leads to a noticeably higher amount of heat gener...
