Plutonium storage facilities

Plutonium storage facilities are secure sites designed to safely contain and manage nuclear plutonium, a radioactive material used in some reactors and weapons. These facilities feature robust containers, such as specially designed canisters and reinforced buildings, to prevent leaks and unauthorized access. They include safety systems for radiation protection, environmental controls, and surveillance to monitor the stored material. The goal is to prevent nuclear proliferation and ensure environmental and public safety by securely holding plutonium away from theft or accidents until it is either repurposed, disposed of, or managed under international safeguards.
