Boy are those terrorists going to be upset when they realize the nuclear bombs they wanted were really made of used pinball machine parts.
And you only need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts to power the flux copacitor, besides, if you are going to build a time machine you might as well do it with style.:)

They're using it to power their army of giant robots to take over the earth.
Duh.

"Dear N. Korea, If the mere 1/5 ton of Pu that we leaked was "missing" doesn't clue you in, please rest assured that you'll bitterly regret any nuclear mistakes in our direction. Your loving neighbor, Japan"
In other news, scientists have discovered a new species of glow-in-the-dark fish near the Oopsiliki Nuclear Facility...
Auditers caught 'em half-way between using fudged-upward numbers (to make productivity look good) and fudged-back-down numbers (to account for what actually ships). (This kind of stuff has happened in the U.S.A.)
Measuring & accounting so sloppy that there's no way to tell if the "missing" stuff ever existed...or if much more is missing.
Stolen by __________, who then did ___________with it
It's an off-the-books loan to CowboyNeal.
-- It's easy to make up & spread cool- and credible-sounding stuff. Finding & checking hard facts is hard work.
-- A pizza of radius z and thickness a has a volume of pi z z a
It's obvious what happened

C'mon people, this is Japan we're talking about here. The most realistic answer is that Godzilla ate more plutonium than they realized on his last ramage across Japan. Since he attacks Japan so damn often, it's not surprising that their inventory counts get off once in awhile. Just relax, everyone. Everyone knows Godzilla only attacks Japan. The rest of us don't really have to worry.

One bomb costs 1 million dollars, why don't they buy it back? Shouldn't be much of a dent in the budget of a land like Japan.

206kg of lead was found where the plutonioum was last believed to have been.

nope, not there.

Perhaps you haven't heard about the Yakuza.

And it will be used to make one Hell of a KatoffleKannon (sp?) or Potato Gun or whatever.
I do find it odd though that missing Plutonium makes the science Pages and Kotoflekannon (sp) made the main page.
