The purpose of this study was to provide information and identify parameters relevant to assessing the consequences to man and his environment of large scale mixed plutonium-uranium oxide fuel fabrication plants which will be needed in the next 10 to 15 years. The report identifies the pertinent parameters, values, factors and methods which may be used in evaluating the environmental consequences of routine plant operation as well as postulated accidents. This study provides a base for the development of siting criteria and safety analyses for mixed oxide fuel fabrication facilities. (auth)
