I am gravely worried that the plutonium they separate from their own spent fuel could wind up in the hands of terrorists who wish us ill.

The safest thing to do with plutonium is to leave it in spent fuel - since it is kept in larger, heavy casts and is fatally radioactive.

We are worried because there is an abundance of fuel and wind and heat.

There is an intrinsic urgency (in the Bush administration) because even as we're talking, the (nuclear) program in North Korea is not frozen. Each day that passes brings an added increment of risk and danger.

We aren't going to see that big drop in synthetic fuel that we were worried about.

It's not difficult to separate it, ... When I'm here, I'm not worried about anything other than what's going on on the field.
