[QUOTE="Nraman, post: 1485642, member: 10001"] U238 is one neutron capture and a decay away from being Pu239. The US has only manufactured one Uranium bomb, the one used in Hiroshima. All the rest we ever made are Plutonium. Best I remember, back in the Carter years we adapted a policy against breeders to convince the world to follow our example. At the same time they decided not to use Thorium 232 in commercial plants because they would not be suited for weapons material. China and India are building Thorium reactors. Thorium is more available than Uranium. [/QUOTE]
