Nuclear Energy & Physics

Co-location is the location of different nuclear fuel cycle facilities on the same site, for example a reprocessing plant and a mixed oxide fuel fabrication plant. This would avoid transport of plutonium and bulk mixed oxide from one site to another. Both physical protection and safeguards measures may be more effective on an integrated site because the resources required might be reduced. Source: European Union. (references)
