I'm trying to imagine a scenario where humans 15,000 years (or even 300 years) from now exist at a level of technology sufficient to dig up deeply buried plutonium and have it be worth the effort, for good or evil. With even that much tech, they'd surely have other tools easier to utilize. Might make an interesting nuke-fi story.
