Strick | BS: Bob Woodward On '60 Minutes' (18-Apr-2004) (108* d) | RE: BS: Bob Woodward On '60 Minutes' | 21 Apr 04 |
Thought crossed my mind. It wouldn't be pure U-238, naturally, but how could decreasing the U-235 increase radioactivity over the original amount? Trace elements of something else that's not getting extracted? A source of uranium that's tainted? Expose U-238 to enough neutrons and you get plutonium 239 after all. Wouldn't take a very high percentage plutonium to produce this kind of result. It's nasty. |
