"US Nuclear Power Industry Set for Major Overhaul as Trump Administration Unveils Plutonium Plan. In a move that could have significant implications for the country's energy landscape, the Trump administration is planning to make approximately 20 tonnes of plutonium from dismantled nuclear warheads available to US power firms. The plutonium, which is currently stored at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, is set to be converted into fuel for commercial nuclear reactors, potentially providing a new source of energy for millions of Americans. However, experts have raised concerns about the safety and security of the plan, citing the potential risks of nuclear proliferation and the environmental impact of processing the highly radioactive material."
