Nature : A diverse set of countries that includes Nigeria, Jamaica, and Syria have cold-war-era research reactors that run on highly enriched, bomb-grade uranium. Under a program run by America’s National Nuclear Security Administration, many of those reactors are being converted to run on less dangerous, lower-enriched fuel. Nature‘s Geoff Brumfiel reports on the program’s progress.
