Washington doesn’t see a problem in that the disposal of weapons-grade plutonium in the United States means its actual storage

107
Scandal around Washington refusing to recycle is gaining momentum weapons plutonium, although a disposal agreement has been signed with Russia, and Russia is fulfilling its obligations. Recall that the US Senator from South Carolina (a plutonium recycling plant is located in this state, and this plant is not used today) was much surprised by the fact that the United States refused to fulfill its obligations.

Washington doesn’t see a problem in that the disposal of weapons-grade plutonium in the United States means its actual storage


In Washington, they stated that they are not going to dispose of plutonium by the method of actual destruction at an industrial facility, since "a cheaper option has been found." This “option” is to store weapons-grade plutonium in underground storage facilities in the form of original artificial deposits.

US Senator from South Carolina:
And this is our disposal option? In the agreement, something was said about such a possibility? .. It is strange after that to expect the Russians to agree to our conditions, because they really dispose of (“burn”) weapon-grade plutonium.


But State Department spokesman Mark Toner believes that plutonium storage is also "recycling." Mark Toner quotes RIA News:
I do not think that a change in the method of disposal necessarily requires re-negotiating this agreement. We have been communicating with 2013 of the year with Russia regarding the US revision of the disposal method and its results. This is consistent with the agreement between the US and Russia on plutonium disposal. This agreement actually allows the parties to consult and negotiate disposal methods without radiation and nuclear reactors. We are trying to fit this process.


Trying to fit and really fit is two different things.

      Here is another proof of the hypocrisy of the United States. And how much pathos was there, that Russia does not strive for nuclear safety. In fact, 34 tons of plutonium are still in US warehouses and at any moment ready to turn into warheads.

                I wonder what they will say if we come up with a way to dispose of weapons-grade plutonium by detonating ammunition (our ballistic missiles) in the United States? But what, does a change in the method of disposal require additional negotiations?

            Someone recently said this. "we agreed to come to an agreement," but it is not possible to come to an agreement with them finally. They will simply turn any treaty inside out if they think it is at odds with their interests. You can talk to them on an equal footing only by keeping them at gunpoint. There is no other way.

        "34 tons of plutonium are still in American warehouses and are ready to turn into warheads at any moment."

        The United States destroyed the plant for the production of plutonium fuses back in 1993. Called Rocky Flats, located in Colorado, under Denver. With the destruction of the plant, the US nuclear weapons program was actually destroyed. That is why Obama is such an ardent supporter of nuclear disarmament.

          Plutonium fuses? Carry crap. to produce a charge, the supercritical mass of plutonium and a neutron source are needed. All the sophistication with the invention of ammunition comes down to the possibility of creating high-power charges (the problem is to collect a mass exceeding the critical mass) and low-power charges (making subcritical mass share). with such a quantity of weapons-grade plutonium, you can non-turn around and make simple cannon-type ammunition - for this, high technology is unnecessary. Perhaps the average graduate of a Soviet high school will be able to collect two pieces of plutonium of 2 kg each, a little explosive and a milligram of polonium or California. it’s difficult to get it all, clean it, but then they all gave it to them on a silver platter.

        It seems to me that the whole point is that the Americans lagged behind us in enriching nuclear fuel. As I heard, we have gone far from them. And now, by storing weapons-grade plutonium, the United States wants to protect itself for the future, violating the agreement concluded with us. We need to do something to thereby force the United States to comply with the agreement.

          This is not true. At one time, there was a boom in the production of plutonium. This requires very serious industrial facilities. Just imagine the production process! At least hundreds of special plutonium-producing reactors, thousands of enrichment centrifuges. And this process is not fast! Then the factory facilities were dismantled as unnecessary. Therefore, we and the states have such a large supply of plutonium. Its destruction puts an end to the development and growth of the nuclear potentials of Russia and the United States. This is the meaning of the signed agreement.

        The question is that not only American, but also our weapons-grade plutonium is stored there in the states, although it was supposed to be processed under the agreement.
        This is doubly beneficial for them: we have less plutonium, and they have more. And then you can either re-fill them with bombs and warheads, or convert them into fuel for future nuclear power plants or nuclear powered ships. Putin has already made a public complaint about this.

            The funny thing is that we did not dispose of it, but transferred it for fuel to nuclear power plants for disposal, for money, though the United States. So they can use it - that is, use our OU plutonium as for bombs - now it seems that they are no longer producing plutonium (although they say that there is only one reactor left in Japan), and they can also process it for fuel for nuclear power plants.

      This “option” is the storage of weapons-grade plutonium in underground storage in the form of unique artificial deposits.

      For reference: plutonium deposits do not exist in nature - it is a 100% synthetic element obtained in special reactors from uranium. If it is mixed with soil, so to speak, then a very strong large-scale contamination of the area will occur - both radioactive and toxic! Plutonium surpasses potassium cyanide in toxicity. For a long time it is not excreted from the body and as a result kills all living things. Well, let's, Americans, bury plutonium in the ground where the thread is near the New York water intake! fool

      235th plutonium generally does not exist, plutonium-238 is used - not so often, and plutonium-239 for nuclear weapons. It is also used in bombs of uranium-235 and rarely - uranium-233, but not plutonium-235. No.
      And uranium-238 is the most common, but not fissile, isotope of uranium. But he was just "tamed" - it is from him that weapons-grade plutonium-239 is obtained in breeder reactors,

          They work, of course, not on uranium-238, it is not a fissile isotope. They run on uranium 235, 233, etc. (there may be options), but rods made of uranium-238 are inserted into the reactor, from which plutonium-239 is obtained during irradiation. True, the material turns out to be "dirty", it still has to be separated from other isotopes for weapons use.

This “option” is to store weapons-grade plutonium in underground storage facilities in the form of original artificial deposits.

    Wow! As former Secretary of State Clinton would say.

    Sometimes it seems to me that this state is the United States, or to such an extent personifies stupidity, or absolute universal impudence.
    For just a normal person can say such a thing out loud?

    And if the question was about disarmament, i.e. I, for example, USA, declare that, for example, I don’t recycle tanks / for scrap, but simply send the engine to the factory for storage.
    Let it be like "natural-artificial deposits".
    So what?
    A tank without an engine is a pile of metal?

    Lord Take America away! At least somewhere!

    That's right, how much does weapons-grade plutonium production cost? We destroy and mattresses are not fools with minimal cost will receive B / W and we again stepped on a rake like with missiles. Most touches that we are always worried about and what will be the face of the mattresses? In the world, only Russia is annoyed by this issue no one else.

    What do they do in normal life with such a "client" who does not fulfill his obligations? He is blacklisted, sued, "fines and penalties" removed and no longer cooperates. Why the Russian Federation, despite all the "partner's" violations, is stubbornly trying to impose its cooperation on the United States is not clear. A 90s habit? Or what does the United States owe?

    Once again, these p ... (our American partners) showed everyone that it is impossible to do business with them honestly. Not, if such a booze has already gone, then Russia also has cheaper options for the destruction of weapons-grade plutonium. Even profitable ones. For example, transfer it to Iran, Syria or North Korea. "For storage" so to speak. Now, the Americans are going to go nuts from such frugality.

    Script of a Hollywood thriller-horror thriller: - "artificial deposit" of plutonium seized by frostbitten North Korean terrorists! The efforts of Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America and others have led nowhere (maybe because they are not there? ... but there are terrorists!)! And now - the super-horror-thriller finale! Terrorists are blowing up an "artificial deposit"! Americans are surprised for a long time - as much as 8 - 12 seconds! ...

    In fast neutron reactors, plutonium is not completely destroyed, the uranium 238 used in MOX fuel for BN reactors (which is 99% of production and considered to be a waste from the production of weapons-grade 235) is converted to the same weapons-grade plutonium. Another thing is that you can’t immediately use this plutonium, it is too phonite and contaminated with nuclear fission products.

    The Americans got into the trap. If plutonium is burned in conventional reactors, they will be left without weapons grade plutonium. Russia, having mastered fast neutron technology, can both burn plutonium in them and extract it if necessary, since plutonium in these reactors is an intermediate product. So the Americans are trying to maintain the return potential of plutonium in a non-contractual way.

      There is no trap. They and our weapons-grade plutonium received a whole bunch, and their after the reduction of warheads no less. And now they have so much, one hundred is enough, or the number of warheads is increased every 10 times, and another 200 years is enough to burn processed fuel in nuclear power plants

    I do not think that a change in the method of disposal necessarily requires re-negotiating this agreement. We have been communicating with 2013 of the year with Russia regarding the US revision of the disposal method and its results. This is consistent with the agreement between the US and Russia on plutonium disposal. This agreement actually allows the parties to consult and negotiate disposal methods without radiation and nuclear reactors. We are trying to fit this process.
    USA you are looking for fools among you.

    This story is only the result of another technological failure in the United States. If we had not created a fast neutron reactor, then the Americans would have built their plant and burned plutonium in uranium reactors, however, like us. But Russia created BN-800, on the one hand we are fulfilling the agreement and will burn plutonium in the reactor, on the other hand, plutonium is an intermediate in BN-800 and can always be extracted from it. Let's face it, we have a return potential that does not contradict the contract, and the Americans have to break the contract in order not to be left with a nose. And of course we will constantly pedal this story and say that the United States is not negotiable.

    The "original" actions of the American side regarding the destruction of plutonium, in my opinion, are aimed at the superiority of the United States in the world in nuclear weapons. Namely: thus "destroying" weapons-grade plutonium to force everyone to do it and then at any time and in a short time increase it.
    The Americans did not come up with anything new for themselves and act just as always - they hold the whole world for fools.

    The chic title of the article on this subject - South Carolina authorities sided with Putin.
    South Carolina authorities through a court demanded that the US government comply with an agreement with Russia on the disposal of weapons-grade plutonium. They are seeking to implement the 2010 agreements on the disposal of weapons-grade plutonium with Moscow.

The cost of plutonium is over $4000 per gram - naturally, one ton is over 4 billion .$.We laugh that the Germans store gold in the USA, but the cost of gold is nothing compared to the cost of plutonium, it is tens of times more.
