These nuclear subs run on highly enriched uranium. There is serious NPT issue involved that only the US has the power to ignore.
- xref 5y agoPower plants run on about 5% enriched, subs on 50%, weapons on 90%. Any country that can sell you a nuclear sub can also sell you the fuel, non-proliferation doesn’t come into it.
- sudosysgen 5y agoUS and UK subs run at 93-97%. Other countries use 20-50%.
- throwaway210222 5y ago> There is serious NPT issue involved that only the US has the power to ignore. Incorrect, the UK has already shat all over the NPT. The recent Trident plans will raise the UK's weapons from 180 to 260 warheads (> 40% increase). Which is in complete violation of article VI. The NPT is for the rest of us.
