Abstract
This paper investigates a plutonium stock management problem. After a descr iption of the global problem, we focus on an important part of it: an assig nment problem modelized as a 0/1 linear program of very big size. Two appro aches are presented to tackle this problem: a decomposition-based determini stic method and a meta-heuristic.
