Plant to turn weapons plutonium into nuclear fuel for electricity being built

Construction has started on a plant in the US that will use plutonium from nuclear weapons to make fuel for US nuclear power plants.

A similar amount of Russian plutonium will be made into fuel for electricity generation too.
