The book explains how these materials are used, describes the histories of fissile material production for weapons, provides an overview of the current global stockpile of roughly 1900 tons of plutonium and highly enriched uranium, and discusses the dangers associated with plutonium separation (reprocessing) and uranium enrichment. 606 $aNuclear nonproliferation 606 $aNuclear disarmament 606 $aNuclear fuels$xManagement 606 $aNuclear fuels$xSecurity measures 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNuclear nonproliferation. 615 0$aNuclear disarmament. 615 0$aNuclear fuels$xManagement. 615 0$aNuclear fuels$xSecurity measures. 676 $a327.1/747 702 $aFeiveson$b Harold 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460085403321 996 $aUnmaking the bomb$92475286 997 $aUNINA
