Motherboard 8th May 2018.On Friday, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced that Idaho
State University may face an $8,500 fine after losing one gram of
weapons-grade plutonium. Although this quarter-sized amount of plutonium is
nowhere near enough to make a nuclear weapon, it is enough to make a dirty
bomb that spreads radiation, according to the Associated Press.
