One does not simply destroy a nuclear weapon
I can't believe this doesn't mention Megatons to Megawatts!? [1]<p>For 20 years between 1993 and 2013, fully 10% of all US electricity came directly from dismantled ex-soviet nuclear weapons. We bought downblended highly-enriched uranium from the warheads and put it in our peaceful nuclear reactors. The bombs that were once aimed at cities then powered them. This was a beautiful and true destruction of nuclear weapons.<p>Same can be done with plutonium using MOX fuel (as briefly mentioned at the end of the post).<p>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megatons_to_Megawatts_Program" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megatons_to_Megawatts_Program</a>
