Ternary Phase Diagram of the Neptunium/Plutonium/Americium System at 1300K
Alloying behaviour among U, Np, Pu and Am predicted with the Brewer valence bond model (Ogawa, Journal of Alloys and Compounds, Volume 194, Issue 1, 13 April 1993, Pages 1-7)
Somehow, I'm anxious tonight and can't sleep, so I thought I'd contemplate this phase diagram, which represents to me is a perfect way of getting rid of large numbers of nuclear weapons while simultaneously saving humanity from itself.
A little strange thing to ponder, I know, but that's where I am tonight hoping to dream of a better world. We could do so much better than we are doing.
