I would be intensely interested in any material on the web that you
could direct my attention to, concerning this.

I have now had a quick look with Google, using the search terms - Rubbia

Researh on this process is going on in Holland and in Russia. (And probably

The main motivation for it was originally that it would be a way of getting
rid of the plutomium, and hence eliminate the possibility of that material
getting into the hands of potential troublemakers.
