<font color="yellow">The Bush administration is planning the government's first production of plutonium 238 since the cold war<br />Federal officials say the program would produce a total of 330 pounds over 30 years at the Idaho National Laboratory</font><br /><br />Great news! New Horizons was put in jeopardy due to the lack of Pu-238. 330 pounds will provide plenty of power for the Mars Science Rover and Europa Orbiter. I’m glad a New York Times editorial and NPR report is providing a balanced view of the good news.
