Did you know that we're using the uranium from dismantled ex-Soviet nukes as plant fuel in the US? This was brought to my attention by Joseph Somsel in the comments to this post on Kerry's halfassed promises to do a better job controlling nuclear technology on Just One Minute. They're hoping to convert 20,000 bombs worth of uranium to reactor fuel. Probably a bad time to be investing in uranium futures, don't you think? Or, for that matter, investing in breeder reactors. That is, assuming you're planning on actually producing reactor fuel...

I play poker every week with a bunch of nukie grad students. Forgot to ask about this last night. Maybe next week...
