The goal of this project was to identify and characterize sources of plutonium processing signatures, and understand how fate and transport impact these signatures, with an emphasis on establishing a foundation for the use of aerosolized particle characteristics as indicators of historic and current activities within a facility. Targeted activities included: 1) Pu metal reprocessing via direct oxide reduction, 2) Breakout of α-phase and δ-phase materials, 3) CNC machining of alloyed, δ-phase Pu metal, and 4) Low speed cutting of unalloyed, α-phase metal and alloyed, δ-phase Pu metal.
