Lesson Topic
plutonium production and mass-energy equivalance
Lesson Outline
The equations leading to the production of plutonium from U-238 were shown as a series of 5 steps. The last step being the production of highly fissionable plutonium from uranium 238 without the need to enrich to Uranium 235. Plutonium was also discussed as a poison, being used by the Russians to poison a number of counter agents. The theory of mass energy equivalence was introduced, leading to Einstein's famous equation of E = MC^2
