The data in Table 4 was calculated using a one group burnup code and the fission product spectra for U-235 and Pu-239 fission by thermal neutrons. The fission product spectra were taken from KA. Varteressian and Leslie Burris, "Fission-Product Spectra From Fast and Thermal Fission of ^U and ^PU," Argonne National Laboratory, ANL-7678, March 1970. The following additional assumptions were made: Chel ya binsk-65: Fuel type: WER; Initial fuel enrichment: 3.6% U-235, 0.0337% U-234, and 96.3663% U- 238; Fuel burnup: 30,000 Mwd/MT; Fuel irradiation period: 3 years; Spent fuel cooling period prior to reprocessing: 3 years; Spent fuel processed: 120 MTHM; Recovery: 99% of the uranium and plutonium,' and 85% of the neptunium; and periodic recovery of other elements. No capture of Krypton-85, Carbon-14, or tritium (it is all release up the stack at the chemical separation plant); Ibid; Based on "Report by the Commission for Investigation of Environmental Situation in Chelyabinsk Region." (Decree by the President of the USSR, #RP 1283, January 3. 1991). Bukharin reports that in a June 27, 1991, Evgeniy Mikerin, then head of the Department of Isotope Separation, Reprocessing and Production Technology, MAPI, told him that 99.9 percent of the plutonium is recovered and americium and curium are also extracted for further utilization.
