DescriptionPlutonium ring.jpg |
English: A weapons-grade ring of electrorefined plutonium, typical of the rings refined at Los Alamos and sent to Rocky Flats for fabrication. The ring has a purity of 99.96%, weighs 5.3 kg, and is approx 11 cm in diameter. It is enough plutonium for one bomb core. The ring shape helps with criticality safety (less concentrated material). Deutsch: Ein Ring aus elektroraffiniertem, waffenfähigem Plutonium, typisch für die Ringe, die in Los Alamos raffiniert und zur Weiterverarbeitung nach Rocky Flats geschickt wurden. Der Ring hat einen Reinheitsgrad von 99,96 %, wiegt 5,3 kg und hat einen Durchmesser von etwa 11 cm. Die Menge an Plutonium reicht für einen Bombenkern. Die Ringform hilft dabei, die Kritikalitätssicherheit zu gewährleisten (geringere Materialkonzentration). Français : Un anneau de plutonium électroraffiné de qualité militaire, typique des anneaux raffinés à Los Alamos et envoyés à Rocky Flats pour fabrication. L'anneau a une pureté de 99,96%, pèse 5,3 kg et mesure environ 11 cm de diamètre. C'est assez de plutonium pour un noyau de bombe. La forme annulaire contribue à la protection contre la criticité (matériau moins concentré). |
