London Nuke Plant Loses 30 Kilos of Plutonium

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the or-is-it-tonnes dept.

solafide writes "The Globe and Mail reports 'A British nuclear-reprocessing plant [at Sellafield] cannot account for nearly 30 kilograms of plutonium, but authorities believe it is an accounting issue rather than a loss of potential bomb-making material, the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority said.' Although it says later plutonium is only 1% of what they deal with there. The Times Online has more details."

    If the terrorists succeed and set off a bomb in the USA, more power to them. If bush was born poor and his family was slaughtered, he would be doing the exact same thing as the guys who flew into the WTC. as the louisiana chef used to say... "I gaurentee it!"

    You clearly have not experienced our (UK) transport system, and are not aware that population on our little island is nearly as big as yours.
