Mary Olson with Jackie Cabasso
Recently a significant announcement by the Bush administration reversed a 20-year-old policy. The US and Russia will now re-process plutonium from nuclear weapons as fuel for nuclear reactors.
Mary Olson is the expert on nuclear reactors with the North Carolina office of the Nuclear Information and Resource Service ( NIRS ). She is concerned about the prospect of fueling aging nuclear reactors with plutonium, recognized as the most dangerous substance on earth. In addition to making nuclear power even more dangerous, she says, this new program is also a concealed nuclear weapons program. New, pure weapons-grade plutonium is generated inside the reactor.
