The US is moving forward with a plan to convert Cold War-era nuclear bomb material into fuel, with some reports indicating the material will be transferred to private companies or start-ups. The plan involves the use of highly dangerous plutonium, which some outlets suggest may not provide a quick solution to a nuclear fuel shortage. The details and implications of the plan are not entirely clear, with some reports focusing on the transfer of plutonium to private companies, while others discuss unrelated international developments.
