The radiation source within the Godiva device was a fissile metallic mass (usually highly enriched 235 U), [3] about 11.8 inches (30 cm) in diameter. This was located at the top of a 6.5-foot (2 m) high metal tower.
The West Valley Demonstration Project Act (Public Law 96-368) was passed by the United States Congress in 1980, and directed the United States Department of Energy to lead the task of solidifying and removing the accumulated nuclear waste present on the site, in addition to decontaminating and decommissioning the facility and surrounding property.

PUREX (plutonium uranium reduction extraction) is a chemical method used to purify fuel for nuclear reactors or nuclear weapons. [7] PUREX is the de facto standard aqueous nuclear reprocessing method for the recovery of uranium and plutonium from used nuclear fuel ( spent nuclear fuel , or irradiated nuclear fuel).
Trump in 2018 reneged on a deal struck by his predecessor Barack Obama in 2015 in which Iran agreed to curb uranium enrichment, which can yield material for nuclear weapons, in return for the ...
Uranium ore mined in the Arlit area (Agadez Region) is extracted as triuranium octoxide (U 3 O 8). The SOMAIR mine had uranium reserve of 14,000 tonnes (with U 3 O 8 @ 0.3%) as of 2011 and a production capacity of 2,700 tonnes per year. [11] [12] The COMINAK concession totaled 29,000 tonnes (U 3 O 8 @ 0.4%) and had a production capacity of ...
The INDs when built from scratch would most likely be of gun-type [8] which is fairly easy to design and manufacture (however, requiring highly enriched uranium).. Improvised nuclear devices are likely to cause more nuclear fallout because of incomplete fission - due to overengineering the pit (making it heavier to ensure fission occurs at least in part of it); using the gun-type design; or as ...
Eventually, Littler finished with an average score of 102.73 against Van Gerwen’s 100.69 and hit 12 180s – the maximum score in a single turn – compared to his opponent’s 13.
President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday, in his first rally-like speech since the November election, threatened to retake control of the Panama Canal, pushed back on criticism of Elon Musk’s ...
