———————- Under Bill Richardson’s watch at DOE………………
An apathetic approach towards reducing the inherent dangers of plutonium stored in unsafe and highly unstable forms;
Incompetence bordering on negligence in caring for more than 12,000 plutonium pits;
Secretly developing new capabilities for plutonium pit production while touting dual-use plutonium processing facilities as “nonproliferation missions;”
While DOE has continued to declassify information and more information is available than ever, this is not the true mark of openness. Openness and honesty is characterized by up-front revelations about the real hazards, uncertainties, and economics of new projects; and not by facades of unwarranted optimism and a flippant disregard for the public trust.
When people are engaged in a process like Environmental Impact Statements that lead to a Record of Decision signed by top-level officials, they have an expectation that a small group of bureaucrats will discard the decision at the earliest convenience. Nowhere is this more true than in the plutonium program, where DOE has made numerous claims during the public debate that are contradicted by internal memos, obscure reports, and even public documents available on various Departmental Internet sites.
One fact that has become increasingly clear is that the plutonium hazard has more depth and breadth. Not only is plutonium useable in nuclear weapons at the scale of kilograms and acutely toxic at the scale of milligrams, it is also has the most complex chemistry in the Periodic Table of the Elements DOE officials who have told the public countless times that alpha radiation can be blocked by a piece of paper have failed to inform people that alpha radiation from the decay of plutonium 239 causes, over the course of decades to centuries, damage to plutonium metal, any metal in contact or near contact with plutonium, and adverse chemical reactions with our most common elements, oxygen and hydrogen.
All these things also make keeping track of plutonium much more difficult.
If the alpha particles from the decay of plutonium 239 can damage the densest metal on earth, the impacts of alpha radiation from plutonium ingested or inhaled in the human body is obviously detrimental. Plutonium is often said to be “harmless” if ingested as a metal, but this is an obvious fallacy since it turns out that plutonium metal has a microscopic layer of plutonium oxide present at all times. The chemical reactions with common materials that worry metallurgists and weapons designers are certainly a concern inside the human body.
Plutonium is most hazardous in an oxide powder form, with inhalation of only 20 milligrams enough to kill someone quickly and 30 to 60 micrograms easily enough to greatly raise the risk of cancer. Yet, DOE is planning to truck 3 metric tonnes of plutonium oxide from Rocky Flats to Savannah River Site this year in its politically motivated rush to close Rocky Flats as soon as possible.
Although the revelations about plutonium complexity has forced DOE to finally establish a long term plutonium storage standard, it is pursuing projects at odds with its own standards. The best example is DOE’s zealous pursuit of a plutonium MOX fuel factory that utilizes surplus weapon-grade plutonium found in plutonium pits.
To make this fuel requires nitric acid based plutonium processing that has generated tremendous radioactive waste problems in the past, a process that greatly increases the likelihood of explosions, spills, and accidental criticality. Yet, the plutonium storage standard requires plutonium oxide to be heated to temperatures that make nitric acid processing even more dangerous. (Page 1.7). Instead of recognizing that plutonium fuel production from weapons plutonium is incompatible with its own storage standard, DOE seems intent on neglecting its commitment to safe storage in favor of its devotion to plutonium fuel.
In the past five years, DOE has reneged on nearly every one of its plutonium management decisions (see sidebar on Page iii) that did not involve spreading the liability at Rocky Flats around the country as quickly as possible or pursuing the dream of stuffing aging nuclear reactors one-third full of plutonium fuel. While underfunding the most fundamental mission-safe and secure storage-it has spent millions of dollars on unnecessary projects like gallium removal experiments and an irrelevant MOX fuel test in Canada.
DOE has not released updated plutonium inventory figures in five years and has even silently carved away bits and pieces of the declared surplus:
—In November 1999, DOE removed 3.8 (MT) of surplus plutonium found in unirradiated nuclear fuel in Idaho which forced the planning team for the plutonium immobilization plant at SRS to issue its third design; and another 0.6 to 0.8 MT of unirradiated nuclear fuel at Hanford was removed for “possible programmatic use.”
—In 1998 an undisclosed number of surplus plutonium pits were recategorized as “national security assets;”
—In 1998 the nuclear weapons program at Los Alamos received “permission from the politicians” to divert some “nickel-sized” pieces of plutonium from its pit disassembly and conversion demonstration project for plutonium aging studies in support of nuclear weapons stockpile stewardship;
DOE matched this failure to be up-front with its numbers with an aversion to being up-front about the hazards of its proposals. During the Surplus Plutonium Disposition Environmental Impact Statement process, DOE attempted to hide the fact that plutonium pit disassembly and conversion involved tritium and beryllium processing that would have meant a 10,000 fold increase in radioactive air pollutants at Pantex and will mean that SRS will become a certifiable beryllium site.
In 1997 DOE canceled its effort to repackage 12,000 plutonium pits in “state-of-the-art” AT-400A shipping and storage containers at Pantex. After spending $50 million on research and development, the plug was pulled after a mere 20 plutonium pits were repackaged. In December 1997 DOE abandoned its efforts to upgrade Building 12-66 at Pantex for surplus plutonium pit storage after completing the preconceptual design work. In 1999 DOE abruptly canceled construction of a new plutonium storage and stabilization facility at Savannah River Site after spending $70 million on its design and nearly completing excavation work. Two years later, DOE still does not have a long- term storage plan for non-pit plutonium at SRS, but still plans to truck about 9 metric tonnes from Rocky Flats to SRS. In fiscal year 2000 DOE quietly stopped funding the plutonium pit reuse project at Pantex, a program designed to avoid costly and environmentally damaging plutonium pit fabrication. In 1997 DOE ceased plutonium stabilization efforts at Los Alamos in favor of pursuing the ARIES project, which has turned out to be an essential pre-cursor to plutonium pit production. In 1999 DOE began shipping plutonium residues called “sands, slags, and crucibles” from Rocky Flats to SRS, then abruptly quit and decided to send the material to WIPP. Higher on the list was DOE’s selection of a nitric-acid based plutonium conversion process for making Mixed Oxide (MOX) plutonium fuel in 1997. Unfortunately, DOE did not inform the public of its decision until late in 1999 and then grossly underestimated the impacts of the operations.
But the most egregious example of dishonesty was the public presentation of plutonium disposition facilities as nonproliferation missions while DOE officials, at the urging of the Pentagon and Congress, secretly crafted a parallel plan to produce new plutonium warheads. The possibility of SRS dismantling plutonium pits for a few years and then putting new ones together is very real.
The list includes internal stonewalling, drastic funding cuts on fundamental programs, constant redesign and “rebaselining,” and a plethora of contradictions:
In spite of repeated requests, the National Laboratories have not provided Pantex with a list of plutonium pits called “National Security Assets” in nearly two years. The labs’ inabilities to provide consistent storage criteria has contributed to the unease about plutonium pit conditions.
After five years of inventory and the introduction of new technologies, DOE still cannot say whether or not it still has 2.8 metric tonnes of unaccounted-for plutonium;
While the Office of Fissile Materials Disposition tells the country that it must accept the plutonium fuel option because Russia will not accept the U.S. burying its weapons-grade plutonium, the Office of Environmental Management keeps proposing to bury more plutonium residues containing weapon-grade plutonium in the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico
During five years of Environmental Impact Statements, DOE never informed the public that declassification of pits included declassifying the isotopic composition. One month after the January 2000 Record of Decision to build a PDCF at SRS was signed, the “blending” of plutonium oxides from two or more pit types was required to declassify the isotopic composition of the powder, adding yet another complication to an already confusing program.
The plutonium pit program continues to languish from a lack of funding, as DOE refuses to honor its commitments to repackage the pits at a rate of 200 per month, insure that “dirty” pits are cleaned prior to storage, procure thousands of new containers for its “national security assets,” decide on a facility storage plan, and design a shipping container.
1. There must be a renewed attitude towards increased openness and honesty in the U.S. nuclear weapons complex and a reversal of the current trend against openness.
2. DOE must publish its latest inventories of plutonium, uranium, and other special nuclear materials and disclose any information suggesting that diversion of materials has occurred. BREDL is making the following estimates based on DOE’s figures in various reports, showing the sheer volume of plutonium “items,” requiring individual handling at some point in time:
Plutonium Inventory
Plutonium Form # Items Plutonium Content, MT
Non-Pit Plutonium Solutions 43,000 Liters 0.5 Metals 6,361 8.6 Oxides 12,537 6.35 Residues 29,530 6.35 Unirradiated Fuel 52,000 4.4
Plutonium Pits 20,000 66.1 Irradiated Fuel 7.5 Total 120,528 99.8 to 100.0
3. Insure that DOE lives up to its promises and commitments made in Environmental Impact Statements and in implementation Plans to the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board.
4. Make safe and secure storage of plutonium the number one priority in the weapons complex.
5. Cease all efforts to pursue full-scale plutonium pit production and a plutonium fuel economy and focus on reducing the plutonium hazard.
6. The inherent chemical instability of plutonium should be an added incentive to make drastic cuts in the nuclear weapons arsenal.


veteranstoday--2020-09-05--VT Nuclear Education: Classified, Nuclear Arsenal Maintanence

Below are responses to questions and statements made in a roundtable .
These are in answer to a US Navy nuclear weapons officer ’ s comments and questions .
Answers are provided by a VT team member .
This will be a fairly unique document in that it can give the public a first look ever at real issues involving nuclear weapons , America ’ s nuclear arsenal and how even our own military is lied to and purposefully misinformed on technical issues tied to the nuclear weapons they themselves handle every day .
We at VT are , not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ professionals around , Bush 43 saw to that , we also have the only people who know how to repair and maintain nuclear weapons .
We aren ’ t kidding .
As nothing can be written down , our current nuclear arsenal is maintained and overseen by people who are simply unqualified .
We are all at risk because of this .
For those of you who understand how important what we are doing is and how this may well prevent us from blowing ourselves up , add what you can in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to die someday at the hands of state sponsored false flag nuclear terrorism like the incident that nearly took out the London Olympics , we might as well know more about these things .
— The U.S. is a collapsing empire that ’ s financially broke , maybe all PANTEX does now is polish the fu $ king things with Armor All and that ’ s about all they can afford to do .
( ( ( This is the 24 dollar question . )
) ) Any stories that bolster the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ however don ’ t pass any smell test .
Something is very wrong with those .
( ( Correct ) ) ) ) The issue we are getting is that since Rocky Flats went down , we aren ’ t producing enough pits to match the breakdown of plutonium .
( ( ( Correct ) ) ) Between you me and the fencepost , the 12 month rotation interval for nuclear weapons must be tied to a master refurbishment and fleet restocking plan that was put in place because of necessity not because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in open air loading areas like Seal Beach , CA .
and Indian Point in Washington State , to possible terror attack during the on-load and offload episodes .
( ( Correct ) ) ) YES !
!
!
That is the key Issue .
Old Pits go bad .
Otherwise why would you write off a Pit that just cost you over 5 million dollars each to make after only 35 years of service .
Especially if it is supposed to be good as gold for over 100 years .
Why do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 35 years of age ?
That is because they have degraded down to less than 84 % pure PU-239 .
That is IAEA international law .
No PU-239 can be used as mox fuel unless it has degraded down to less than 84 % purity .
Weapons grade Fuel is 93 plus % pure PU-239 .
So why would you scrap 3000 plus old pits that cost over 5 million dollars each if they are good for 100 ’ s of years .
It would be much cheaper and easier to just get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back up put in new parts and reset the odometer back to zero .
Now Jay Leno has a brand new 57 Chevy to play with .
Get the point .
The NSSA and the DOE outright tell you in their public information that the old pits are recycled into 84 % pure MOX fuel .
They even tell you how they do it .
You can ’ t grind up a 97 % pure PU-239 pits and mix that stuff with PU from another source .
The fission rates are too far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stable enough to be used in a Mox fuel reactor .
It will literally move around in the fuel rod just like in a lava lamp and at some point BANG .
This is what happened at Dimona and in Japan .
They all were using very unstable surplus weapons grade PU-239 in there reactors as mox fuel in order to increase new PU-239 production .
This is what fast breeder reactors are for .
Making new weapons grade PU-239 fuel very fast .
If we only need 3000 pits plus 10 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 10,000 plus new pits between 1944 and 1994 ?
Why not recycle the ones you have if PU-239 is good as Gold ?
Do we scrape Gold coins after 35 years and turn them into jewelry or do we recycle the metal and make new coins ?
The same scenario applies to PU production .
If it is good as Gold for over 100 years then why not recycle the PU metal .
That is because it deteriorates with age .
The only question is how fast does it go bad and if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are we retiring them after 35 years and scrapping them .
Is the demand for Mox fuel that great ?
Why ?
If PANTEX refurbishment production has halted , this means the entire U.S. nuclear arsenal will be utterly non-viable if NEW PRODUCTION is not taking place anywhere , and Duff may in fact be correct about that .
( ( ( YES ) ) ) But properly maintained nuclear warheads in human life spans , ( ( ( have nearly indefinite life ) ) ) ) ( ( ( ( ( wrong @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Note the PU-239 is mixed with up to 5 % Gallium .
Gallium deteriorates very rapidly under neutron and Gamma ray radiation .
“ This is a very big weapons engineering secret.
” Look it up .
Just ask any nuclear physicist about Gallium irradiation problems in Nukes . )
) ) MOX fuel increases the overall operational output power of a reactor in thermal energy , while radically decreasing the safety margins of operating plants with this fuel .
( ( ( YES ) ) ) Japan and Dimona as examples… .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the only logical reason is that the warheads are being reprocessed into nuclear fuel for reactors .
( ( ( Why would you scrap a working Pit if it didn ’ t have a problem .
They cost lots of money to make ) ) ) In any case , nuclear weapons go to PANTEX or had been going to PANTEX in Amarillo Texas for decades , for refurbishment to keep them viable and reliable as the circuitry does deteriorate over time due to gamma radiation exposure changing the semiconductor substrate ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exposure in the warhead itself .
( YES ) ( ( ( Semiconductors are made of silicone and Gallium .
Gallium is added to the Pit . )
) ) If PANTEX refurbishment production has halted , this means the entire U.S. nuclear arsenal will be utterly non-viable if NEW PRODUCTION is not taking place anywhere , and Duff may in fact be correct about that .
( YES ) But properly maintained nuclear warheads in human life spans , have nearly indefinite life ( ( ( ( NO NO NO ) ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ RETROFITTED INTO THE WEAPON at nominal intervals not to exceed 5 years or so in time for the aforementioned reasons due to gamma ray degradation of the arming , triggering and timing circuits .
( ( Correct ) ) ) The 5 year life time is correct only for the electronics .
He is not discussing the Explosives or the Boost gas problems or the corrosion problems or the plastic materials problems or the Helium gas build up problems or the PU-24/241 problems etc .
He only talks about the electronic problems .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ used in nukes they don ’ t go bad due to radiation like transistors and computer chips do .
But the high voltage charging capacitors in the firing circuits and the coax cables do go bad .
Electrolytic failure in the charging capacitors is a major concern .
They will test OK but when put under actual firing load they explode .
Old ones will actually begin to leak or bulge first .
The electrolytic also dries out very rapidly .
The replacement capacitors are not even made in the USA anymore they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Japan Korea and China .
Only the Krytrons are still made in the US .
The High Explosives are also very sensitive to neutron radiation .
It dries them out very rapidly .
Hydrates in the HE love to absorb neutrons this makes them very unstable after time .
You and I both know how dangerous old ordnance is to handle .
How many safety classes and lectures did we all have to take on that one alone .
The moral of the story is if it ain ’ t broke then why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If the PU does not “ stink ” or go bad then why are we scraping it only after 35 years .
Why not just recycle the old PU into a new pit so we can save a lot of money and time .
Why can ’ t you just melt it down and make a new pit from the old pit .
We still have the molds that the original pit was made from or do we ?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
How dose 97 % pure weapons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grad PU-239 in less than 35 years if it is supposed to be stable and good for decades ?
?
?
?
?
?
Where did the 12 plus % of contamination called “ pit poisons ” in weapons designer terms come from .
At .5 % PU-240/241 buildup per year ; that would be equal to about 25 years ?
?
?
?
Get the point .
Thanks G. You need to start a VT Chat room on the subject .
It might just bring in a lot of new info that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ please tell everybody to drop all of the negative connotations about other people .
It is very un professional to act that way and it only distracts from the real issues .
That is , how well is our nuclear defense system holding up and do we need to do something about it before it is too late .
Are we being over run by a 5th column within our own government or are they just misguided Tree Huggers… IE… .
“ Hippies in power ” ………

YES!!! That is the key Issue. Old Pits go bad. Otherwise why would you write off a Pit that just cost you over 5 million dollars each to make after only 35 years of service. Especially if it is supposed to be good as gold for over 100 years.

Get the point.
The NSSA and the DOE outright tell you in their public information that the old pits are recycled into 84% pure MOX fuel. They even tell you how they do it. You can’t grind up a 97% pure PU-239 pits and mix that stuff with PU from another source.

In any case, nuclear weapons go to PANTEX or had been going to PANTEX in Amarillo Texas for decades, for refurbishment to keep them viable and reliable as the circuitry does deteriorate over time due to gamma radiation exposure changing the semiconductor substrate’s conduction characteristics significantly beyond 12 months exposure in the warhead itself.

The 5 year life time is correct only for the electronics. He is not discussing the Explosives or the Boost gas problems or the corrosion problems or the plastic materials problems or the Helium gas build up problems or the PU-24/241 problems etc. He only talks about the electronic problems. This is why vacuum tubes are still used in nukes they don’t go bad due to radiation like transistors and computer chips do. But the high voltage charging capacitors in the firing circuits and the coax cables do go bad.
Electrolytic failure in the charging capacitors is a major concern. They will test OK but when put under actual firing load they explode. Old ones will actually begin to leak or bulge first. The electrolytic also dries out very rapidly. The replacement capacitors are not even made in the USA anymore they are imported from “ASIA” IE Japan Korea and China. Only the Krytrons are still made in the US.
The High Explosives are also very sensitive to neutron radiation. It dries them out very rapidly. Hydrates in the HE love to absorb neutrons this makes them very unstable after time. You and I both know how dangerous old ordnance is to handle. How many safety classes and lectures did we all have to take on that one alone.
The moral of the story is if it ain’t broke then why are you trying to fix it. If the PU does not “stink” or go bad then why are we scraping it only after 35 years. Why not just recycle the old PU into a new pit so we can save a lot of money and time. Why can’t you just melt it down and make a new pit from the old pit. We still have the molds that the original pit was made from or do we?????????
How dose 97 % pure weapons grade PU-239 become 84% pure reactor grad PU-239 in less than 35 years if it is supposed to be stable and good for decades?????? Where did the 12 plus % of contamination called “pit poisons” in weapons designer terms come from.
At .5% PU-240/241 buildup per year; that would be equal to about 25 years???? Get the point.
Thanks G. You need to start a VT Chat room on the subject. It might just bring in a lot of new info that has previously been kept quiet…..
PS. please tell everybody to drop all of the negative connotations about other people. It is very un professional to act that way and it only distracts from the real issues. That is, how well is our nuclear defense system holding up and do we need to do something about it before it is too late. Are we being over run by a 5th column within our own government or are they just misguided Tree Huggers… IE…. “Hippies in power”………

veteranstoday--2020-09-05--VT Nuclear Education:  Most Classified 9/11 Revealed

It was Dr. James Fetzer that introduced me to Veterans Today .
We had worked together on 9/11 where my expertise in photographic and image analysis helped his research .
Several teams at Veterans Today had been working on 9/11 and , by the time I met them , all had come to the conclusion that 9/11 was a nuclear event .
They had also come to the conclusion that other researchers , the total amateurs and those with some expertise but “ axes to grind , ” pet conspiracy theories or books to peddle , had crippled any effort @ @ @ @ @ @ @ too many others , many “ activists ” were something else , something unwholesome , clearly working for those responsible for 9/11 .
As many if not most of these folks aren ’ t very bright , they had become rather obvious .
The real breakthrough came when Veterans Today was given access to documents “ borrowed ” from the Department of Energy and given to Russian intelligence .
The Russians , in turn , angry at the US over the Ukraine coup , looked for an American source to publish this material @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it .
This material was the product of a broad investigation into where nuclear weapons were acquired , who had stolen them , how they were reconfigured , where they were placed , and more .
However , not all information we wanted was there .
Don Fox and I went to Gordon Duff who introduced us to a senior US Army/NATO officer who had commanded nuclear forces in Europe .
He concurred that 9/11 was nuclear , answered what he could , and helped direct us onward .
Although we had made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still many gaps in our knowledge so when we learned that Gordon Duff had sources within the US nuclear weapons labs and that material was coming out that had never been seen before , we were eager to see if we could use it to fill in the gaps .
We were given direct access to documents , not only tied to the suppressed nuclear weapons investigation of 9/11 but private notes by investigators as well .
Duff then told us that we could submit questions .
A day later , we received @ @ @ @ @ @ @ material is astounding , it comes from the highest levels of America ’ s weapon design community and is highly classified .
After reading this , you will never be able to think about 9/11 and the threat of nuclear weapons in the same way ever again .
Where , for years , would-be investigators , bloggers , phonies , malignant narcissists have peddled pet theories like carnival barkers , real nuclear weapons designers , many from the same team that wrote the DOE 9/11 Report ( 2003 ) , had no need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ How many types of devices were used in New York on 9/11 ?
I see where a case can be made for 2 or 3 different types of devices .
A : At least two different types of nuclear weapons were used .
One is a standard micro nuke with a ( W-54 Pit design ) of less than 3 kilotons in size and greater than 500 ton minimum in blast size .
The bigger enhanced weapons use to bring down towers 1 and 2 were at least 1 to 3 kiloton in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kiloton size of the weapon to less than 200 feet in diameter due to the size of the buildings .
For every 1 kiloton of blast effect , you get approximately a 50-foot radius sized fireball .
The size of the fireball can be much less when contained inside a steel structure .
So a 3 kiloton weapon will produce a 150-foot fireball .
In a thermobaric design , the plasma fireball will remain the same size but it will be under much greater pressure and have more density due to the added @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When the fireball expands to its maximum size of 150 feet and just after it consumes all of the building materials in this area ; ( up to 150 tons for a 3 kiloton weapon ) it begins to cool very rapidly .
As it cools it will expel the molten hot iron plasma under great pressure just like in a volcano .
Shooting the “ Lava ” or plasma straight up the central core of the building .
This volcanic burst of hot iron plasma will literally gut the inside of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contact with .
The follow on EMP pulse will add even more thermal heat to the structural components of the building .
The EMP pulse will also destroy or erase any surviving computer hard drives in the area .
Q : The above-ground nukes appear to be much smaller than the below-ground nukes .
And the nukes below the Towers appear to be different than the nukes below Building 7 .
A : Yes each building needs a different amount of explosive charge to bring it down .
This depends on the size @ @ @ @ @ @ @ building .
It is basic demolition physics .
Buildings 4-6 were smaller requiring lesser charges to bring them down .
Building 7 was bigger needing more than one charge .
Towers one and two required much more charge and they needed a bigger hole to drop them into .
These were the specially designed thermobaric weapons , used just for this purpose .
Q : We see evidence for neutron bombs in the USGS dust samples and the DOE water samples .
The primary stage appears to be uranium as we see uranium @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The secondary appears to be lithium deuteride as we see tritium in the DOE water samples .
Could a thermobaric nuke use uranium for the primary ?
A : Yes .
A Uranium or Plutonium weapon can be used as the primary .
The primary only needs to be a fission weapon design .
Uranium is also used in a Plutonium weapon as a neutron reflector and energy booster .
It reduces the amount of PU needed by 25 to 50 % .
The Uranium will not completely burn because it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the fallout .
1 pound of Pu or Uranium will produce up to 3 ounces of fallout per pound of fuel consumed by the primary .
So if the weapon used 15 lbs of fuel it will produce 45 ounces of fallout .
Most of this will be absorbed by secondary burning the remaining nuclear fuel in the thermobaric reaction .
Adding Iron oxide to the secondary will reduce heavy radioactive fallout to acceptable levels after several days .
It is a clean burn weapon .
This is why it was used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
For every 1 kiloton of energy produced in a nuclear explosion , it will consume up to 50 tons of iron or steel when it is sucked into the plasma fireball turning it into vaporized gas .
When it cools and it is exposed to air or water vapor , it forms micro granules of iron oxide spheres in the 7 to 10-nanometer range .
All metal spheres formed by the plasma ball when cooled will vary in size , based on their atomic weight and wavelength of light that they absorb @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wavelength of the light radiated by the plasma fireball ranging from 30 nanometers ( infrared light ) down to less than 1 nanometers for ( x-rays and Gamma rays ) .
Iron only absorbs light in the 7 to 10-micron range , this is why they are that size .
Gold Silver and Aluminum all adsorb shorter wavelengths so they are much smaller in size .
If the fallout sample is not taken directly from the very center of ground zero it will show less and less PU or Uranium in the samples @ @ @ @ @ @ @ points of detonation .
This is because most of the unburnt radioactive material does not travel very far from the plasma ball .
The secondary purpose of the iron oxide is to convert excess Gamma , X-ray , and Neutron radiation into thermal energy .
Its third function is to convert Alpha and Beta radiation into heat .
Its fourth function is to convert the excess free electrons produced by the blast into a bigger EMP pulse .
Its fifth function is to contain or absorb the radioactive fallout and reduces its levels @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a very thick solid iron casing is used it will fragment just like in a grenade or in an artillery shell so softer iron powder is used .
It also needs a lot of surface area in order to produce a thermobaric effect .
When this hot plasma that is over 1 million degrees centigrade in temperature and over 5,000 degrees C. at its edges comes in contact with any other material it will either immediately vaporize it or melt it .
Even if it does not melt it if the structural steel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ above their Curie point then they will lose all structural strength and bend like pretzels .
This is basically a first-generation plasma weapon when used in a closed steel construction building .
The closed steel construction also further helps contain the fallout , when used in a very tall steel structure such as on 911 .
The 1,000 foot long or tall steel central core of the building acts as a thermal waveguide for the hot plasma converting the central steel core into a Directed Energy Weapon .
It also acts as an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ directs the energy produced by the weapon straight up the central core .
It basically forms a very crude Directed Energy Weapon .
The EMP pulse is vertically polarized and it is primarily absorbed by the building ’ s steel structure .
The reaming EMP field effects do not radiate any farther than the magnetic near field produced by the original blast .
The steel building acts as a Faraday cage absorbing and re-radiating the EMP energy as thermal heat , adding to the thermobaric effect .
X-rays , Gamma rays , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the heavy materials in the building so very little of this radiation will travel more than a few blocks from the outside of the building structure .
In order to prevent a counter EMP from knocking out electrical power in lower Manhattan , the building had to be power downed just before the blast .
This would require someone switching off the power in the transformer substation that was used by the WTC complex and the power company .
So there you have it – the nuclear secrets of 9/11 laid bare for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there be any denial that NYC was nuked .
The nanothermite theory was a psyop from the beginning to hide the nuclear event at the towers .
We must salute those who chose to release this highly classified information , they have done a great service by finally answering the ‘ how ’ of the destruction of the WTC .
It did occur to us to ask why is this information coming out now , the answer gave us further insight into the people behind the terrible crime of 9/11 .
The following @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the text .
“ Bush , Cheney and Rahm Emmanuel are gone .
So are most of the original co-conspirators .
They are or have been removed from power .
This makes it safer for the whistleblowers.
” Note the names they use and the order they are in .
This opens up so many more questions , this time questions that may actually have answers of consequence .
Dick Cheney recently warned , or perhaps threatened would be more accurate , that a ‘ far deadlier nuclear 9/11 ” may happen ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nuclear event and that Cheney was at the heart of the conspiracy ; therefore his prediction is truly frightening .
The information above is far from all that has been published , supplied as part of the DOE documents , or brought forward by loyal Americans working in our nuclear weapons programs .
These are only the unanswered questions , the details we felt would give us the answers we needed .
Veterans Today had already published papers on the bomb designs , where the 9/11 weapons had been placed and extensively on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ All of the articles I reviewed were , as with this one , detailed , lots of hard science .
What is of particular note is the fact that never have so many previously unpublished details on specialized weapons programs ever been released in the same decade , much less in a few short days .
What I also learned working with VT is that , though the mainstream media is boycotting this information , the military and intelligence community is not .
Some very dangerous people are now both angry and motivated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ took this kind of openness and detail after over a decade of childish deceit .

Where, for years, would-be investigators, bloggers, phonies, malignant narcissists have peddled pet theories like carnival barkers, real nuclear weapons designers, many from the same team that wrote the DOE 9/11 Report (2003), had no need to fabricate and dissemble.
