"How Do Countries Create Nuclear Weapons?
The same process used to generate nuclear power can be used to create the most destructive force we know.
….."But there is more than one path to the bomb.
Producing HEU is one way to create a nuclear weapon. But uranium can also be used to produce plutonium, an element that is not naturally occurring and is much more powerful than uranium.
Depending on the level of the isotope Pu-239 contained, plutonium can be differentiated into
reactor-grade plutonium, containing between 55 and 70 percent Pu-239, which is extracted from spent fuel that has been irradiated, or exposed to radiation, for years in a nuclear reactor; and
weapons-grade plutonium, containing at least 90 percent Pu-239, which is extracted from spent fuel that’s been transferred to a special plutonium production reactor. This special reactor only needs weeks or months to produce weapons-grade plutonium.
Although the two kinds are created by different means, both come from spent, or used, uranium fuel in reactors. Weapons-grade plutonium is made specifically for military purposes. And a plutonium production reactor has a different design from a typical nuclear reactor. So if such a reactor is present, it is a sign that a country may be trying to build nuclear weapons"….

The worst kept secret is the fact that selected NPPs are being used to create weapons grade Plutonium. Could the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station in southeastern Ukraine be one of these select NPPs? Is this why Ukraine and NATO mounted raid after desperate raid last year attempting to wrest control of the facility away from Russia?
