This shit just got real... http://youtube.com/watch?v=dx6IS0vrZOk&feature=youtu.be I'm very skeptical that they are fueling a domestic power generation reactor with weapons grade Pu. For a start, weapons grade Pu needs to be about 92% Pu 239 with a smattering of Pu 240. To manufacture that level of refined Pu is very costly, and not worth the effort for generating electricity with, as much lower levels of refinement will suffice Plus, weapons grade uranium requires a short burn up time compared to that for domestic power generation. The processes are very different. S |

Looks like they're going for a full house?
THE crew of the US aircraft carrier, on a humanitarian mission to Japan, received a month's worth of radiation in about an hour, a US newspaper reports. Citing unnamed government officials, The New York Times said the USS Ronald Reagan passed through a radioactive cloud from damaged nuclear reactors in Japan when it approached the country on its humanitarian mission. ================= I wonder how far off-shore it was? ... :blink: |

Don't panic, Mr Mainwaring. Nothing to worry about.
