Plutonium manufactured at the site was used in the first nuclear bomb, tested at the Trinity site, and in Fat Man, the bomb detonated over Nagasaki, Japan.

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

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

And there is the disconcerting prospect that new civil nuclear energy players will insist on building uranium enrichment or plutonium reprocessing plants of their own, rightly described as bomb starter kits.

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.

Bomb?

The consumable pusher makes the bomb more a uranium fission bomb than a hydrogen fusion bomb.

And the atomic bomb!

Far more worrying, had Syrian engineers built a lab at the site, or in other rebel held territory, to extract plutonium from the reactor s spent fuel, the insurgents might even have found themselves with the ingredients of an atomic bomb.

A similar problem was caused by the Mayak industrial complex, which had produced plutonium for the first Soviet atomic bomb, and the Siberian Chemical Combine within the complex, which had pumped radioactive poisons into underground aquifers for over 40 years.

Plutonium fuel production would create enormous amounts of radioactive waste and would require the transportation of weapons grade plutonium and fresh fuel across thousands of miles of open country, creating a serious risk of railway accidents that could result in plutonium contamination of the environment.

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

Maybe keep a few little bombs of plutonium on the side.

Far more energy is required than a simple Delorean with plutonium.
