- A related question is, given there is now lots of that evil plutonium in
- the world, in the form of bombs and "spent" fuel rods, if Greenpeace got
- their way, what would they do with it all? I know they'd shut down every
- nuke in the world so no more gets created but what of the stuff that already
- exists? Can't fission it, else that would mean running the nukes (or setting
- off the bombs...)
