...fact of atomic life is that the world's tiny nuclear club (U.S., Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union) may soon have a host of new entries. Within a few years, estimated Tennessee's Senator Albert Gore, a member of the Joint Congressional Committee, 20 to 25 nations-including Japan, Brazil, Argentina, Holland and Red China-may have the nuclear capability to make an atomic bomb...
...hurdle for any nation is to get weapons-grade nuclear material," said Gore. "Once that is done, either as the product or byproduct of a nuclear plant, the nation has acquired a nuclear capability and can set off explosions." For the moment, plutonium is expensive and hard to make.

Previously, U-235 was almost impossible to separate from nonexplosive U-238, except with great expense and difficulty. But, said Tennessee's Democratic Senator Albert Gore, member of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, last week: "recent advances in [centrifuge] technology have now brought the capability of producing weapons-grade material within the reach of not just a few but of many nations...
