Can I get the math on what “a little” plutonium is?
And where are they getting the plutonium? HEU exists, at 60%, and we buried it on the order of 10-20 stories underground, and we’re monitoring the sites so they can move equipment in and start digging it out.
Iran has no operating breeder reactors.
So, again, where are they going to get the plutonium?
I misspoke. I was referring to the enriched uranium at Fordo, Natanz or Isfahan. They must have at least one dirty bomb warhead in their stockpile. If one of the Mahdi apocalyptics get truly desperate over there.... (God forbid)
“Iran has no operating breeder reactors.

If a reactor has uranium it produces plutonium.
Our PWRS are loaded with only LEU but after several cycles produce about 40% of the power from plutonium.
But this spent fuel is very radioactive.
