  CHICAGO, ILLINOIS — "Estimating and disseminating information about the costs of nuclear reprocessing" is a joint project of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago. A user-friendly computer model allowing countries to calculate and compare current costs and advantages of different methods of fuel use and storage will be refined and tested in workshops. This tool for examining costs may help countries decide to forgo reprocessing, which would reduce risks of theft and diversion of plutonium and the threat of terrorism. Funds will be used for partial staff salaries, travels, honoraria and publication costs.
