 In August 2013 the NDA said it had shared with the [[Department for Energy and Climate Change]] (DECC) its conclusions of its recent assessment on the management of the UK’s separated plutonium stocks, including an updated review of the Government's preferred Mox fuel proposal, and alternatives such as PRiSM. DECC is apparently considering the NDA's work - an update is expected in autumn 2013. </ref>

-In April 2012 the UK [[Nuclear Decommissioning Authority]] signed a contract with GE Hitachi to “enable a more detailed assessment” of GEH’s proposal to “burn” the UK’s stockpile of plutonium in GEH’s Prism fast reactors. Under the agreement, the NDA will pay GEH for additional studies and analyses until August 2012 to demonstrate that its proposal is a credible alternative to using the plutonium in mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel.
+GEH also signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the [[National Nuclear Laboratory]] (NNL) for expert technical input to the potential UK deployment of the PRISM reactor, which would be specifically designed to disposition the UK's plutonium while generating 600 megawatts of low-carbon electricity. <ref> [http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20120404005787/en/GE-Hitachi-Nuclear-Energy-Signs-MOU-Agreement GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy Signs MOU Agreement with National Nuclear Laboratory to Work on Tackling UK Plutonium Stockpile], Business Wire, April 04, 2012 </ref>

+GEH believes that, 'PRISM offers the most efficient, clean, cost-effective option for turning nuclear waste into low carbon energy; while also managing used nuclear fuel and surplus plutonium by converting it into electricity.
