Plutonium is a heavy, radioactive, man-made, metallic element used in the production of nuclear energy.

A typical 1000-megawatt reactor processes Uranium-238 to produce about 200kg per year of Plutonium-239 (or alternately similar amounts of Uranium-235). Purified, this can be used to produce forty nuclear weapons. …

There is no chance of an atomic power plant exploding like a nuclear bomb, as the specialized conditions and the pure Plutonium used to unleash an atomic bomb’s vicious force simply don’t exist inside a nuclear power plant. … Indeed, if nuclear energy could become a more widely accepted form of alternative energy, there would be little question of their upkeep being maintain ed. Currently, six states in America generate more than half of all their electrical energy …

But this only produces more weapons-grade uranium and plutonium. A global push toward nuclear energy would mean that uranium enrichment — and efforts at nuclear weapons development — would certainly grow throughout the world. …

Fears of the ‘awakening giant’ opened the doors of US assistance to Indian nuclear programme bringing in assistance in training, materials, and technical know-how like plutonium enrichment and fabrication of a limited number of …. That India, like China, will continue to be committed to nuclear energy as one of the means of alleviating its energy shortfalls. This flows from the second, that given India’s energy shortfalls, its nuclear sector can be a large market for …

… antimatter would release a much energy in an explosion as a 43 megaton bomb, compared to the largest atomic bomb ever detonated – a 50 megaton explosion – that required hundreds of kilograms of fissile plutonium/uranium to detonate. …

… has no need for peaceful nuclear energy. For years, Egypt has run a low-profile military nuclear program. It cannot afford nuclear inferiority to Iran. As in Bushehr, Egypt can use its reactor to harvest plutonium for nuclear bombs. …

See also: Nuclear power and Nuclear energy policy. Nuclear fission. See also: Nuclear fuel. The International Atomic Energy Agency estimates the remaining uranium resources to be equal to 2500 ZJ. This assumes the use of breeder reactors … Concerns about nuclear proliferation (especially with plutonium produced by breeder reactors) mean that the development of nuclear power by countries such as Iran and Syria is being actively discouraged by the international community. …

I have watched with interest since The President’s most resent declarations about nuclear energy, and while much of the ‘environmental’ and ‘humanitarian’ communities are rightly outraged and rightly feeling betrayed, the movement to ’stop the …. the investigative branch of Congress, security at the government’s nuclear fuel reprocessing plants is inadequate and monitoring systems are not accurate enough to detect the loss of bomb-sized amounts of plutonium []. …
