    Abstract

    Lessons learned during the stabilization and glove box handeling activities resulted in impriovements and modifications in the design of the plutonium glove box systems, optimization of operation processes and refinements in packaging flow sheets. The cooperative efforts between SOGIN, Italy, U.S. DOE-NNSA and SCK.CEN, Belgium is described and key lessons learned in the effective packaging of plutonium in transport-ready packages highlighted
