Hmm I think I saw this on the Fallout tv show

This is why we don't see new 007 films. We know how the nukes get into the hands of the eccentric billionaires. Spies are obsolete.
Is there actually a source for this? It doesn't seem unbelievable in this day and age but there's a wide gap between supplying plutonium for tech startup power (as in electricity) fantasies, which they've openly talked about, and letting Palmer Lucky build nuclear-armed drones.
I might be mistaken, but I think the intention is to provide fisile material for small form-factor reactors for data centers.
Even if it was weapons, it wouldn't be anything really new. Private enterprise has always been there, only now the climate is just one that these people are unlikely to see any meaningful oversight.
But yeah, it's literally so Sam Altman can sell power to himself.
Why would they want weapons grade for that? Nuclear power usually uses low enriched
They are just making sure there are nuclear weapons accessible to them if the people try to vote them out of power.
So where do I get in on this? I want to be the wacko with a small nuclear reactor powering my house.
Government isn't free market by definition.
And BTW Kodak got it first (weapons grade enriched uranium in their case)
