1) The Plutonium bomb requires no U-235
Plutonium bomb requires U-235 if you decide to fuel reactors,like Groves and
Oppenheimer did, with U-235 instead U-238 to boost plutonium production.
The reactors in Hanford used natural uranium with 0.7% U235, not
enriched uranium. A reactor is built to use uranium with a
certain level of U235 and you can not just add some more to
"boost" it. If you are going to produce Pu you want as little
U235 as possible for the isotope of interest, Pu239, comes
from U238. But why am I arguing with a troll?
