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.

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

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

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

Investigators couldn't find who pulled the trigger.

The petition is used as a trigger.

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.

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

The trigger should be the domestic government itself.

Such attacks might trigger a wider regional conflagration.

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.

The last problem to be resolved is the trigger.

He should trigger OMT before it is too late.

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.

Others believed that the euro itself would trigger political unification.

Ma has created the necessary conditions for deactivating the trigger.

Nor could sanctions trigger a change in government in Baghdad.

And in 2004, the IAEA blew the whistle on South Korea s non safeguarded plutonium and enrichment experiments.

Due to the radioactivity of plutonium, all of its compounds, PuCl3 included, are warm to the touch.

A trigger pulse causes the circuit to enter the unstable state.

And the Soviet Union followed with a research reactor from which Libyan scientists extracted small amounts of plutonium.

This is the first time that the plutonium rich carbide fuel has been reprocessed anywhere in the world.

Specific concern was expressed about both the environmental and proliferation risks of plutonium reprocessing and nuclear materials shipments.

While they must ensure that reforms are comprehensive, they also must avoid attempting too much too fast, which could trigger resistance from deeply entrenched players or unintentionally trigger dangerous chain reactions.

Could this crisis of the elite trigger India s own Tiananmen Square moment?

Now you might want to look at plutonium as another fissionable material that you might use in a bomb.

The energy derived from splitting uranium and plutonium atoms was originally used for the ultimate weapon, the atomic bomb.

So, Iran, it seems, will be able to advance its plutonium program during the six month confidence building period.

12. Supports continued efforts by the United States of America and the Russian Federation to implement the 1997 Agreement concerning Cooperation regarding Plutonium Production Reactors and the 2000 Agreement concerning the Management and Disposition of Plutonium Designated as No Longer Required for Defence Purposes and Related Cooperation
