This course gives participants a broad-based understanding of plutonium, its physical and mechanical properties, and alloying and transformation behavior. Although the emphasis in this course is as an introduction to the field of plutonium metallurgy, the objective is for attendees to gain a better understanding of this vitally important technology. This offering provides an excellent opportunity to upgrade anyone's knowledge in minimal time and is designed to familiarize both the technologist and non-technologist in the field.
