But, you can drop a plug of pellets into an LWR core for a short time and have weapons grade plutonium? So ANY of our 40 or so PWR can be put to into sue for weapons grade PU239, right?

But, But, But. Remember your statement?

‘We use LWR’s because they make weapon’s grade materials’

Given that they have never been used for that, your original statement if false. I don’t know why you don’t just accept that fact.

As for your above, you don’t just drop some pellets in. It takes days to open up and reseal the reactor vessel.
