      There are nuclear plants in operation today that do not use or create any fuel that is capable of being weaponized. In fact, coal plants emit more radiation than a modern nuclear power plant.

        And they cost too much. Governments only fund weaponizeable fission.

        In fact, coal plants admit much more radiation than a modern nuclear power plant.

        Not in a way that can be concentrated and weaponized.

      I don’t have the sources right now, but nuclear reactor designs exist that output minimal weapons grade materials and some that output none at all. IIRC they are in use already, but I’d have to check what their names are.
