You're simply not entitled to your own reality.

Nothing in that post bears any resemblance to the real world. Plutonium isn't "explosive" in that sense... nor is it "so volatile" that it can "blow thru its cask"... nor is WIPP a storage site for "plutonium that was too volatile to be used in weapons".

You should try actually looking up what materials qualify for storage at WIPP. You seem to think that there are physical chunks of plutonium being stored there... but that's nonsense. That isn't what TRU (transuranic waste) is - it's clothing/tools/materials that are themselves contaminated with tiny amounts of plutonium (etc).
