You really want to have 15 tons of Plutonium around? Or, what's the alternative? Maybe they use SAP for stock-keeping so nobody will find anything anymore...

Think of all the sweat and energy and negentropy that went into getting these tons of death out of our mother earth. the last I heard about Uranium mines in Saxony (10 years? ago) was 13 ppm (makes it 13 grams per ton of ore) at 1700 m below ground at 65 Celsius temperature. AND THESE GUYS JUST KEPT DIGGING... They're now more or less all gone (alpha radiation etc). What remained is two gigantic Grand-Tetons-like dump heaps of 200.000 tons, which make the biggest single-item entry in the clean-up inventory of the deceased DDR.
