Its about time we put science to good use. (A small rant)

Your redirects seem to be worthless,

The release of additional information was deemed important to enhance public awareness of nuclear proliferation issues associated with reactor-grade plutonium that can be separated during reprocessing of spent commercial reactor fuel.

A. Reactor-grade plutonium is significantly more radioactive which complicates its use in nuclear weapons.

Q. If this was a successful test as you indicate, why didn't the United States use reactor- grade plutonium in nuclear weapons?

A. Reactor-grade plutonium is significantly more radioactive which complicates the design, manufacture and stockpiling of weapons. Use of reactor-grade plutonium would require large expenditures for remote manufacturing facilities to minimize radiation exposure to workers. Reactor-grade plutonium use in weapons would cause concern over radiation exposure to military service personnel. In any event, Public Law 97-415 prohibits United States defense use of plutonium produced in licensed facilities, i.e., commercial reactors.

So no, you're incorrect unless you believe most countries have infrastructure that they simply do not have. And it's furthermore against the law (but like that matters).


And no, there was never a time when we could look at the sun directly on a clear day, IIRC the suns output only changes by around a 1/10th of a percent. I don't know if that's enough to change the climate but it's not really noticeable to notice any difference visually, and staring at the sun is an extremely stupid thing to do. Furthermore, IIRC, sunspots are what can cause warming, however they are called spots since they're darker...
