Nuclear Swords to Plowshares
For nearly 20 years, the United States has been using weapons-grade uranium from dismantled Russian nuclear warheads to fuel domestic nuclear power plants. The program, expected to end in 2013, has recycled 450 metric tons of Russian bomb-grade uranium since 1994, according to the George Washington University Face the Facts initiative. It has at times generated as much as 10 percent of the U.S. electricity supply. There are 104 working nuclear reactors in 31 states; the United States is one of 30 countries that generate electricity via nuclear power. Since the start of the program 450 metric tons of bomb-grade uranium has been recycled into 13,258 metric tons of low enriched uranium for American electricity. The amount of uranium recycled equals to 18,000 nuclear warheads eliminated. Yet, this agreement between Russia and the United States is slated to end in 2013. At the end of its run, it will have converted an estimated 500 metric tons of weapons-grade uranium. Read more: http://www.voxxi.com/russian-nuclear-warheads-power-homes/#ixzz2UvBkaz7m
