Britain has amassed a stockpile of more than 100 metric tons of plutonium -- enough for 17,000 bombs of the size that flattened Japan's Nagasaki in 1945, a report from the country's top science institution said on Friday.

Plutonium is generally not considered 'waste'.

Probably a back-up from the relative cease of nuclear arms production, and, if I recall, a stop on nuclear reactors.
