Plutonium is immediately weapons-usable; a major study by Sandia Labs has shown that just a handful of people, working for a short period of time without elaborate equipment, can extract any plutonium that has been incorporated into fresh nuclear fuel. Once extracted, that plutonium can be used to make a nuclear explosive device of enormous destructive power.</font></div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Times New Roman" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times New Roman"> </font></p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Times New Roman" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times New Roman">See <a href="http://www.ccnr.org/plute_sandia.html"><font color="#0032e6" style="color: #0032e6"><u>http://www.ccnr.org/plute_sandia.html</u></font></a></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Times New Roman" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times New Roman">and <a href="http://www.ccnr.org/Peaceful_Atom.html"><font color="#0032e6" style="color: #0032e6"><u>http://www.ccnr.org/Peaceful_Atom.html</u></font></a></font></div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Arial" size="4" style="font: 13.0px Arial"> </font></p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Times New Roman" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times New Roman">-------------------------------------------------------------------------</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Times New Roman" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times New Roman">------------------------------------------------------------------------- </font></div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Arial" size="4" style="font: 13.0px Arial"> </font></p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="6" color="#656991" style="font: 27.0px Helvetica; color: #656991"><b>A nuclear boost</b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="6" style="font: 27.0px Helvetica"><b> <br> </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="6" color="#656991" style="font: 27.0px Helvetica; color: #656991">Energy Grit Leader Michael Ignatieff reaffirms support for nuclear power</font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"> <br> <br> <a href="http://telegraphjournal.canadaeast.com/search/article/760390"><font color="#0032e6" style="color: #0032e6"><u>http://telegraphjournal.canadaeast.com/search/article/760390</u></font></a></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Times New Roman" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times New Roman">-------------------------------------------------------------------------</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Times New Roman" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times New Roman">------------------------------------------------------------------------- </font></div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 21.0px 0.0px"><font face="Times New Roman" size="7" color="#772778" style="font: 32.0px Times New Roman; color: #772778"><b>No Nukes</b></font></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 16.0px 0.0px"><font face="Times New Roman" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times New Roman">Hawthorne confirmed that Bruce Power dropped plans to build two nuclear reactors in Nanticoke due to plummeting demand for electricity in Ontario.
