Nuclear Relic

A bottle discovered at a nuclear waste site in Washington state contains the oldest example of bomb grade Plutonium. The Hanford nuclear site was part of the Manhattan project in 1943 according to the BBC, and the same plutonium discovered there was used for the first atomic bomb tests as well as the weapons used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The researchers at Pacific North West Laboratory call their field ¨Nuclear Archaeology¨. Considering the half-life of the crap that´s been produced over the years, they´re probably not going to be stuck for work for a long time.
