Plutonium fuel production. Three technicians making plutonium fuel pellets in a glove box. The technician in the centre measures a precise amount of plutonium oxide powder. He passes this to one of the technicians on either side,who then uses a hand press to compact the powder to form a fuel pellet. When enough pellets have been pressed,they are put into the vacuum oven (foreground),where they are fused. The pellets may then be put into fuel rods,ready for use in a fast-breeder reactor.
