Plutonium: from Nagasaki to New Brunswick

bombing of the City of Nagasaki in Japan. The nuclear explosive used was
plutonium. Nuclear advocates have long dreamed of using plutonium as a
reactor fuel, thereby increasing the options for new reactor designs and
magnifying the longevity of the nuclear age. The problem is, once plutonium
has been extracted, it can be used either for weapons or for fuel at the
discretion of the country possessing it. Policing methods can be
circumvented. As Edward Teller has observed: “There is no such thing as a
foolproof system because the fool is always greater than the proof.”
