In a fission nuclear reactor, uranium-238 can be used to generate plutonium-239, which itself can be used in a nuclear weapon or as a nuclear-reactor fuel supply. In a typical nuclear reactor, up to one-third of the generated power comes from the fission of 239 Pu, which is not supplied as a fuel to the reactor, but rather, produced from 238 U. [5] A certain amount of production of 239
The 9K38 Igla (Russian: Игла́, "needle", NATO reporting name SA-18 Grouse) is a Soviet/Russian man-portable infrared homing surface-to-air missile (SAM) system. A simplified, earlier version is known as the 9K310 Igla-1 (NATO: SA-16 Gimlet), and the latest variant is the 9K338 Igla-S (SA-24 Grinch).
Technetium-99 is produced by the nuclear fission of both uranium-235 and plutonium-239. It is therefore present in radioactive waste and in the nuclear fallout of fission bomb explosions. Its decay, measured in becquerels per amount of spent fuel, is the dominant contributor to nuclear waste radioactivity after about 10 4 ~10 6 years after the ...
Russian milbloggers also noted the lack of Russian motorized, mechanized and armor near Vovchansk, reporting that Russian forces travel on foot, with motorcycles or ATVs. [ 98 ] The Liut Brigade were reported to be conducting "door-to-door mop-up operations" in order to prevent Russian forces from gaining a foothold in other sections of Vovchansk.

[602] Satellite pictures showed damage to the Pluton complex located at Vityne, Crimea. [603] One person was killed in a Russian airstrike in Kharkiv. [604]
Ukraine announced plans to build the world's first underground school in Kharkiv due to its proximity from the Russian border. [279] US officials announced that "thousands" of Iranian-made weapons and 1.1 million 7.62 mm rounds seized by the US Central Command were to be transferred to Ukraine. [280] [281]
Russian media reported explosions during a drone attack on the districts of Vyborgsky and Primorsky in Saint Petersburg, where electricity was cut off. Russian media claimed that a drone had been shot down and there was "no threats to the population". [448] A microelectronics plant was also set on fire in a separate drone attack in Bryansk. [449]
In 1975, the German firm Kraftwerk Union AG, a joint venture of Siemens AG and AEG, signed a contract worth $4 to $6 billion to build the pressurized water reactor plant. Construction of the two 1,196 MWe reactora was to have been completed in 1981. In 1975, Sweden's 10 percent share in Eurodif went to Iran.
