So you are claiming the government, in wanting to get rid of excess plutonium, was charging Duke power to process the plutonium for them? That they were making Duke pay to process the government's plutonium?

I think the way that usually works is the government gives them a contract and pays Duke for doing the work of processing the plutonium.

Duke tried it out and said no, too dangerous. They actually told the government to shove it! TVA has no choice, so they are the new guinea pig. After Fukushima, tho, bet TVA finds a way to tell the government to shove it. Problem is Hanover is full. And they won't let them just dump it on the ground like they used to. Tepco thought they could charm the plutonium snake and they got bit. So they are dumping into the ocean. Lets hope it all works out ok, eh?
