Please note the scales involved -- *TONS*. It takes only a few
tens of kg to make a nuclear weapon (of enriched uranium)
and less than that to make a weapon out of plutonium.
Any extropian in a major population center should be attempting
to determine whether it is a good idea to relocate out of said
population center.
Just IMO, Robert
