| | | | | Featured image: All matter around us is made of elementary particles, the building blocks of matter. These particles occur in two basic types called quarks and leptons. Each group consists of six particles, which are related in pairs, or 'generations'. The muon is a type of lepton, denoted by the letter ยต. Credit: CERN. A... | |

| | | | | On this blog, I write about particle physics for the general public. I try to make things as simple as possible, but I do have to assume some things. In particular, I usually assume you know what particles are! This time, I won't do that. I know some people out there don't know what a... | |

| | | | | [AI summary] The article discusses the challenges of nuclear weapon disposal, focusing on the difficulty of safely managing and destroying plutonium pits, which are essential for nuclear weapons. It highlights that disassembling weapons and storing parts is a common practice, but this poses security and safety risks because the pits can be reused to build new weapons. The article also mentions the logistical and technical issues with converting plutonium into mixed-oxide fuel for reactors, which is a potential disposal method but not very effective. The piece critiques the current approach to disarmament, suggesting that while the U.S. has plans to reduce excess plutonium, they have not succeeded. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for better secu... | |
