摘要

A Shortage of tritium, a key ingredient of nuclear weapons, could spur the US administration to open more plants, despite President Barack Obama's declared goal of eliminating nukes.This would send the wrong signal to the rest of the world, says Robert Alvarez at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington DC. "If we really want to think about elimination, this would be one of the big milestones - stop making tritium," he says.
