@idontwa86202030 Designed in the middle of the plutonium crisis
@techgeektx @idontwa86202030 In the middle? We shot our last kilos off to mars a couple years ago Plum dry
@3Baracuda @idontwa86202030 The DOE restarted production
@techgeektx @idontwa86202030 Oak ridge does produce pu238 but it’s a couple grams per year. Nothing significant
@3Baracuda @idontwa86202030 They are producing about half a kilo every 9mo at this point bub. Supposed to be up to 1.5kilos a year by '26
@techgeektx @3Baracuda @idontwa86202030 Where is it going to be used for?
@TwRaApFlPiRa @3Baracuda @idontwa86202030 The next one is most likely #Dragonfly to Titan in 2028.
