NNSA “announced today”:http://www.nnsa.energy.gov/2170.htm the completion of conversion to low-enriched uranium of two research reactors, one at UOregon and one at UWashington, as well as the initiation of decommissioning of the ZPPR at Idaho National Lab. I wonder what other surprises (“hopefully something like this?”:http://russianforces.org/nuclear/2008/09/russia_prepares_to_bring_spent.shtml) are in store for the “international RERTR meeting”:http://www.rertr.anl.gov/meeting_announcements/2008meeting/ that kicks off Monday in DC. Can’t wait. 🙂
