The Rocky Flats plant near Boulder, Colorado, was built in 1952 for pit production and consequently became the plutonium and beryllium fabrication facility.

Similarly, although a serious fire could detonate the explosives, destroying the pit and spreading plutonium to contaminate the surroundings as has happened in several weapons accidents, it could not cause a nuclear explosion.

Now, plutonium, 10 to 13 pounds this. This is enough plutonium to create a Nagasaki size atomic weapon.

This is plutonium containing less than 80 per cent plutonium 238, highly enriched uranium (HEU) and uranium 233.

Since plutonium 238, plutonium 240 and plutonium 242 are fertile, accumulation of these and other nonfissile isotopes is less of a problem than in thermal reactors, which cannot burn them efficiently.

That you'd need 10 to 13 pounds of plutonium.

I dug a pit.

Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph wasn't in the pit and he tore his clothes.

Plutonium(III) chloride is the chemical compound with the formula PuCl3.

And Reuben returned unto the pit and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit and he rent his clothes.

You fall into a pit! More

Use of plutonium fuels also increases the risk of nuclear weapons proliferation.

Ten reactors that had produced weapons grade plutonium have been shut down.

and they took him, and threw him into the pit. The pit was empty. There was no water in it.

And they took him, and cast him into a pit and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.

slain were the Men of the Pit ,

the people of the pit were destroyed

The companions of the pit were killed

Cursed be the makers of the pit ,

Role of ex combatants in pit sawing

He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit.

The hard part is obtaining the fissionable materials plutonium or highly enriched uranium.

During the Cold War, the project expanded to include nine nuclear reactors and five large plutonium processing complexes, which produced plutonium for most of the more than 60,000 weapons in the U.S. nuclear arsenal.

A drawback is that gallium compounds are corrosive and so if the plutonium is recovered from dismantled weapons for conversion to plutonium dioxide for power reactors, there is the difficulty of removing the gallium.

And he opened the bottomless pit and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.

In order to produce plutonium the Israelis needed a large supply of uranium ore.

The total revenue from pit sawing is unclear.

He said, It's easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man.

The Chernobyl disaster contaminated the Belarusian territory with long lived caesium, strontium and plutonium radionuclides.

And what shall teach thee what is the Pit ?

his shall be the deep pit for a dwelling .

Woe to the makers of the pit ( of fire ) ,

And what shall teach thee what is the Pit ?

his shall be the deep pit for a dwelling .

If a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and doesn't cover it, and a bull or a donkey falls into it,

Chemical compounds including such material and plutonium in spent fuel elements also belong to this category.

A very important case is the PUREX process (plutonium uranium extraction process) which is used to separate the plutonium and the uranium from the spent fuel products from a nuclear reactor, and to be able to dispose of the waste products.

The town of Gilbert was actually moved for the pit.

He will have his home in Hawiyah ( pit , i.e. Hell ) .
