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

Enegery from fossil fuel and nuclear energy doesn’t take the environmental costs into account. if the utilities had to do this that electricity would be way more expensive then any sort of renewable energy source! … Uranium/plutonium …

Made with uranium and plutonium oxides, MOX fuel is a solution for recycling the plutonium recovered from used nuclear fuel. With more than 1500 tons produced to date, MELOX is the world’s leading producer of MOX fuel. In France, more than 10% of nuclear energy comes from recyclable fuel and 21 Nuclear Power Plants use MOX Fuel. *Contract signed between MELOX SA, to fabricate MOX fuel, and MHI, in charge of designing the fuel for the utility. Published Mar 09 2010, …

It might be better to spend our time working on storage solutions for the waste that will be created by the forthcoming push back into nuclear energy. The British government has started to slip out references to that dead-end again, … Weapons-grade Plutonium (Pu239) has a half-life of 24100 years. That does not mean that it becomes safe in that time, it means it is half as radioactive. Pu244 is the most stable of its isotopes and has a half-life of more than eighty …

Again, the bottom line is that war rhetoric against Iran is in the face of Iran’s compliance with legal and peaceful use of nuclear energy and medicine under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The false outrage Obama and other war mongers have is the ….. The six outstanding issues were: 1) Plutonium Experiments, 2) P1-P2 Centrifuges, 3) Source of Contamination in an equipment of a technical university, 4) Uranium Metal Document, 5) Polonium 210 and 6) Gachine Mine. …
